Hello Ghost Community! I’m new to ghost and considering it for a project that would be hybrid auto-generated content with human added “additions” for certain pages. I’m primarily interested in ghost for the headless-cms and user/member/subscription management. I’m somewhat new to CMS development/management, checked the FAQ, and did some searching, but apologies for any dumb or previously answered questions below:
-
Is the Ghost user/member/subscription management on par with Firebase/AWS Cognito/Auth0? Ghost appears to offer everything I need and more (authentication/authorization + billing/subscription management). Anyone encounter any pitfalls or challenges? I was previously leaning towards Firebase for headless CMS and user management, plus stripe billing extension for subscription management.
-
I have a few thousand products in my database that would mostly be machine-generated content, but several hundred products would have hand curated stories attached to the product page. Is this a better case for a headless cms or using the ghost managed cms templates etc. Does ghost have any struggles managing content for thousands of pages? Hundreds of thousands?
-
Is it possible to blend member content with non-member content? That is, if a member is logged in, they would see additional content on the same page (perhaps in related to question #2 above)
-
Is it possible to integrate external API content into ghost templates, for human editors that don’t write code? Any pointers or documentation to this? Probably some sort of custom content plugin/datatype?
-
Are there any live examples of ghost running on an eCommerce site similar to what I describe above, with thousands of products available?
Super excited to get started, much thanks for your time
