I've been using Ghost since v0.6, 2 years ago, and I love the community. They're quite helpful on Slack.
One thing I think Ghost is missing right now is a solid mobile experience. I'm working to fill this gap with Quill [1], a native Android app for Ghost with an offline mode, image uploads, full Ghost Markdown support, and a sweet design. And it's open-source :)
Offline support in particular is IMO going to turn out to be an important feature, because I can imagine Ghost's target audience of journalists wanting to publish quick thoughts from places with a spotty connection. Admittedly I haven't actually validated this - building offline support presents an interesting engg+UX challenge, so that was the original motivator.
Feedback has been really positive so far [2], so I'm gonna keep going! Would love to get feedback from HN as well.
Not trying to put you down, just want to make sure you are aware of the potential naming conflict (both things are for authoring content) in case that creates a legal headache for you one day.
Yes - I only found out about it after I had my app out there with a feather logo and everything.
However I don't think it will cause big issues, as quilljs is a JS library, while Quill (the app) is targeted directly at Ghost's users who will largely (presumably) be journalists. The slight name confusion within dev circles is something we'll just have to live with.
