Hello everyone ! I’m currently working on a paid newsletter. I’m thinking on using Ghost to manage the site and the subscriptions and Stripo + Mailchimp to edit and send the newsletters (I need custom design + dynamic features in the newsletter). I’m searching for the perfect Ghost theme and curious to discover your websites using Ghost for this purpose. Can you send me examples? Thanks a lot for your answers! ---

Mine is a combination of free newsletter, paid newsletter and blog, but might be useful. It’s a philosophy-by-email project, so the paid tier offers classes (with linked Discourse forum) and for the free tier, I send out weekly philosopher files. The theme is Joben theme from Biron — I’ve not yet updated to Ghost v4. > **[Looking for Wisdom](https://www.lookingforwisdom.com)** > > Philosophy for the insatiably curious: insights and ideas from the world's philosophical traditions, from the ancient world to the present day. ---

I will update the theme next week (all themes actually). But there are no breaking changes so even if you updated to v4 you should be fine 🙂 ---

Great! Thanks. 🙂 I’m not in any hurry to update, so I’ll hang on until you’ve updated the themes at your end. ---

I know it’s unrelated with the question asked in the topic and I apologise for that, but how do you manage to keep Discourse members in sync with Ghost? ---

I second Aspire and Biron themes as the top two Ghost theme makers…I myself used Krabi from Aspire, which is a very popular theme…great theme and excellent support ---

As it’s only paid members (and I have _very_ few at the moment 😄 ), I can do it by hand. So I have zapier converting posts on Ghost to Discourse topics, but for membership, I just send out an invite when somebody signs up to pay. ---

I really love the Joben theme I’m using, and Norbert & co. at Biron are just really helpful. ---

@WillBuckingham thanks for the infos, the Joben theme really looks awesome. ---

I see, thanks for the answer! I’m hoping Ghost will soon have some sort of SSO capabilities. ---

@WillBuckingham slightly off topic but I see that on your members only articles, you have partial preview available for anyone before it shows the “article is for community members only” banner. May I ask how did you achieve that? I would like to do the same on my website. ---

FYI @Abhishek_Prakash & @WillBuckingham With Ghost 4.0 you have the new public preview card, you can use that to set a part of your content as public, so no need for external tools anymore. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/6/6b07c315ed49af3177c2c51daaf541d80bf6c044.jpeg) ---
