Add full membership support to Ghost, allowing readers to sign up, login, and comment on stories. Having readers become members opens up a lot of exciting future functionality, including: Paid subscriptions (like Stratechery or TheInformation) Personalised reading recommendations based on reading history (like Amazon) Personalised email newsletters based on user history (like Product Hunt) Detailed analytics on a per-user basis (allows advanced tools like Mixpanel/Kissmetrics to be used) Full community integration with Discourse via Single Sign On User submissions (like Hacker News) Memberships as a core part of Ghost would primarily make the platform far more powerful in terms of the type of sites that can be built with it, and the types of apps and services which are able to integrate. This is an idea I’ve been toying with for a very long time.

IMO especially the comment feature is one of the most missed features. A blog usually has the ability to comment posts, but Ghost is missing this. You always have to use an external service like Disqus, but it would be much more attractive, if this could be build in. But I also like your other ideas!

Kinda excited by this one. Ties into my future plans very nicely. [image]

I am requesting few extra feature like ( Coupons, Membership Discount Offer, Sponsored or Featured Post Purchase system etc)

Super cool, would love to see this happen

@John Hi I am glad that this feature is planned and hopefully we will see it in future. Is there any ETA for now?

Hey John, this sounds great. Considering the existing Zapier integration, would it be possible to connect to an existing service like Patreon, so that the membership isn’t tied to Ghost itself but the funding source of choice? I think that a lot of folks already have payment systems set up that would be tough to move over, but without a lot of glue connecting their various ideas to actual technology that they use.

Is there any update or planned roadmap available? Am scoping a project at work and this feature would strongly make Ghost a strong candidate

I like that model, where sections could be password protected.

Futzing with the app functionality, had some unorganized ideas and thoughts
