for newsletter platform for developers
Buttondown→Ghost
On 2026-08-14, ChatGPT changed its #1 recommendation for best newsletter platform for developers — dropping Buttondown from the top spot in favor of Ghost. The previous #1 had held since 2026-07-15.
“Best overall for a durable, domain-owned technical publication: excellent website and newsletter publishing, Markdown and code support, strong SEO and RSS, flexible themes and APIs, audience segmentation, and paid memberships with no platform fee. This assumes the website matters alongside email; it is a near-tie with Buttondown.”— ChatGPT
