As we approach the end of the year, we're excited to share that we've been working behind the scenes on some powerful new cards for the Ghost editor — and we're going to release all of them before the year is out!
Consider it a special gift from us to you. It's officially Cardmas 🎄 (sorry).
As a team, we wanted to work on some of the most highly requested features publishers have been asking for, and so we're wrapping up (sorry) the year with a flurry of fun additions.
These new cards are going to provide you with many more ways to include dynamic content in your posts and email newsletters — including buttons, NFT embeds, GIFs, interactive lists, Tweets, media uploads, and more 🤫
We'll announce each new card throughout the month of December. The first of which is one that's launching today, and has been a long time coming...
Hi, I’d like to confirm whether the NFT card is communicating with third parties at all?
If for example its presence in the editor/dashboard contacts a third party server for any reason. Side note: OpenSea is harmful to the art community for several reasons, so for a platform like Ghost talking about empowerment of creative folk, I’m a quite surprised by this integration.
Most importantly, I do not want any of my ghost installations sending ANY ping of any kind to any server involved and would like confirmation of that.
From a cursory look it appears to behave much in the same way the YouTube, Soundcloud and other embeds work. I think your install would only ping their platform if you were to embed a link of theirs into your site, causing Ghost to recognise the URL pattern and turn it into the NFT card. I won’t be using it either, I’d like to think as long as I don’t use the card I’m not partaking in said space
, thanks
