A theme for Ghost 6
Your newsletter and your resource library, in one Ghost theme.
Signal Library is for publishers who send a regular newsletter and also keep a growing collection of guides, templates and tools. Readers get a clean archive of every issue and a library they can actually search and filter.
Proposed launch price $99, one-time. Not available to buy yet.
Built for newsletters that come with a library
If your best content lives in two places — the weekly issue and the evergreen guides your readers keep coming back to — most themes make you choose which one to feature. Signal Library gives each its own home.
Newsletter creators
A date-led issue archive with paid and members-only issues clearly marked.
Educators and coaches
A library of lessons, checklists and templates, organized by topic.
Niche publications
Curated tools and references that sit alongside your regular writing.
What it does
A library readers can search and filter
Tag a post #resource and it joins the library. Your normal tags become categories automatically.
- Filter by keyword as you type
- Category buttons built from the topics you actually use
- A “Free only” toggle for new readers
- Shareable links to a category, like
/library/?category=guides - Ghost’s own site search in the header
An issue archive that reads like one
Tag a post #issue and it appears in a clean, date-led archive. Every issue ends with links to more issues, so readers keep going.
Free, members and paid content, clearly labelled
Built on Ghost’s own memberships and subscriptions. Cards and posts show Free, Members or Paid, and the paywall tells readers exactly what they are unlocking. Signed-in free members are offered an upgrade instead of a sign-up.
Light and dark
Follows the reader’s system by default, with a toggle they can use.
Your brand
Logo, accent color and Ghost’s brand fonts, plus settings for labels and homepage sections.
Accessible
Skip link, keyboard-friendly menu and focus states. Scored 100 for accessibility in our Lighthouse tests.
Lightweight
No outside scripts, no tracking, no build step. Scored 95–100 for performance in our tests.
How it differs from a standard Ghost theme
Most Ghost themes are built around one feed of posts. Some add a newsletter archive; a few add a resource directory. Signal Library is designed around both from the start.
| Typical Ghost theme | Signal Library | |
|---|---|---|
| Newsletter issues | Mixed into the main post feed | Their own dated archive at /issues/ |
| Guides and resources | Ordinary posts, found by scrolling or search | A filterable library at /library/ |
| Free vs paid | Often not shown until the reader hits a paywall | Labelled on every card and post |
| Paywall message | Generic | Names the content and offers sign-up or upgrade |
Comparison describes common default layouts, not any specific theme.
