How far can you take customizing membership functionalities in ghost?

how far can you take customizing membership functionalities in ghost?

does it extend beyond just saving bookmarks?

for example, could i build something more robust like genius.com where people highlight lyrics in a song and add annotations about what they mean?

or even adding entire new songs? etc. (Genius | Song Lyrics & Knowledge)

You’d need a third party API for something like that. The bookmark functionality is just using local storage on the user’s computer.

right now we are using fast api from our python backend. we have a mysql db.

so would the process be something like:

  • take the new user data from signups
  • store in DB
  • facilitate user contribution functionliaty (and keeping track of it) via javascript that talked to the backend?

could we extend the ‘logged in’ UI in ghost or would i need a third party app for that part as well?

ty!
