Hello everyone!
My name is Charles. I have been a silent reader of this forum for a few weeks now but today I decided to write my first post 
Hopefully I don’t get banned 
While lurking around, I saw that custom fields / metadata for posts was something that was asked quite often. Since Ghost doesn’t offer that I have created Gaspr, a web app that allows you to add custom attributes to your posts in minutes. To see Gaspr in action checkout this video Gaspr.io Demo Video on Vimeo
After setting up your blog with Gaspr, it only takes 4 steps:
- You can create custom fields of type text, long text, number or JSON. I am currently working on boolean (true/false) and if the community express some interest for other types I would be happy to consider.
- You create a template using Handlebars and your field IDs
- You enter data for your posts
- Add the one line HTML snippet for your template to your post as an HTML card and save. Gaspr will take care of rendering the post data using the template even
What can you do with Gaspr ?
- Create templates and custom fields for things that you always have to add to posts but changes based on the post (recipe information, book information, music, etc)
- render custom fields in the header of your posts (Pro plan only, see below)
- Social media buttons based on the post url or slug
- Display anything in your posts that you want automatically added with very little input from you
Gaspr comes with 2 plans, both offering a 14 days trial:
Basic - $10/month
- 1 template per site
- your template can only be added to the content of the post as an HTML card
Professional - $20/month
- unlimited templates per site
- Add template to content plus the header and footer
Gaspr is my attempt to provide a feature that I think the community needs so feedback from you guys is greatly appreciated
