Announcing the Magic Pages Open House. Quarterly calls with our team!
The Magic Pages Podcast — Latest episode
Jannis sits down with his competitor and friend, Murat Çorlu of Synaps Media − a calmer, deliberately small managed Ghost host. They talk growing the Ghost market instead of fighting over it, the theme editor Murat open-sourced (Ghost later shipped its own), i18n gaps, and hosting solo.

André, founder of PayGlue, joins Jannis on connecting Ghost memberships to Stripe alternatives — Polar, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Creem and more. Merchant-of-record tax, a replaceable paywall, pay-what-you-want, trust through open source, and why sustainable tools skip the free tier.
Mark Alexander − the Melbourne writer behind Tech That Fits − joins Jannis on judging gadgets by whether they earn their place in a small home, choosing Ghost over Webflow and WordPress, building a first custom theme with Fantasma, and reaching readers via Google and Apple News.
Why is Magic Pages, a Ghost hosting company, sponsoring IndieCon — an independent print festival in Hamburg? A solo episode on the shared fight for ownership, what we're bringing (a Ghost workshop, a small magazine, a dinner), and how you can win a ticket.
Chris Emunds — the solo developer behind Vellumine, an advanced search and analytics platform for Ghost — joins Jannis to talk about closing the gaps in Ghost's SodoSearch, semantic search with local LLMs, and why treating your day job as a superpower is the honest path to bootstrapping software.
Magic Pages' very first customer, Christine Trac, joins Jannis for the podcast's first in-person recording. They talk Twitter beginnings, Ghost vs Wix, life in Austria, and the email-deliverability tools small senders actually need.
No script, no slides − just Jannis and the whole team, Mariia & Sviatoslav, on one deceptively simple question: What is Magic Pages? Support that isn't a ticket queue, being a “translator” for Ghost, and the people we actually build for.
