The subscription system, as I mentioned upthread. Making a blog is easy. Making a blog with pay gated access to posts and downloads is not. The closest equivalent is Patreon + WordPress with the Patreon plugin. I already mentioned the issue with self-hosted WordPress. Managed solutions cost more than Ghost and provide less.

Sounds like an interesting idea... selling software under the MIT license which the software holder is maintaining...

Looks like I have a weekend project now!

This complaint has never made sense to me; you're selling software/hardware management, not the software itself.

And this is precisely the pain point of the gp... This isn't just reasonable, it's utterly sensible.
