Ghost vs Tumbless: What are the differences?
What is Ghost? Just a blogging platform. Ghost is a platform dedicated to one thing: Publishing. It's beautifully designed, completely customisable and completely Open Source. Ghost allows you to write and publish your own blog, giving you the tools to make it easy and even fun to do.
What is Tumbless? Tumblr-like blogging platform running on Amazon S3. Tumbless leverages the capabilities of HTML5 and Amazon S3 to offer a blogging platform without a specialized backend.
Ghost and Tumbless can be primarily classified as "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" tools.
Ghost and Tumbless are both open source tools. It seems that Ghost with 30.3K GitHub stars and 6.55K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Tumbless with 279 GitHub stars and 16 GitHub forks.
So many choices for CMSs these days. So then what do you choose if speed, security and customization are key? Headless for one. Consuming your own APIs for content is absolute key. It makes designing pages in the front-end a breeze. Leaving Ghost and Cockpit. If I then looked at the footprint and impact on server load, Cockpit definitely wins that battle.
