It would be great if Ghost allow using custom cards alongside the primary cards; Image, Markdown, HTML, Gallery, Divider, Bookmark & Email, because it is cumbersome to write and style it every time you use it

There are a few that has asked this feature, for instance [How to build custom cards](https://forum.ghost.org/t/how-to-build-custom-cards/15401)

I think Wordpress has this feature.

Does Ghost has any plan to implement this feature in the near future?

Does the snippets feature work for this use case? If you write your html code once, you can then save that card as a snippet and re-use it anywhere. It will be added to the card list and you can use the `/snippet-name` shortcut (`/{anything}` will search the cards list and filter it, pressing enter will insert the card so you don’t have to type the full name)
