The Wide-Angle Lens Your Ghost Admin Desperately Needs
Ghost shows you 5 pieces of information per post: Title, Status, Author, Published date, Featured star. That's it. No primary tags. No excerpts. No word counts. No meta descriptions. You're managing content through a 5-pixel peephole.
The Information You Can't See
Primary tags control your URL structure, theme routing, and content organization. They're arguably the most important piece of metadata in Ghost. Yet they're completely invisible in the admin interface.
Want to see which posts are missing meta descriptions? Too bad. Need to check excerpt lengths? Start clicking. Looking for posts without featured images? Hope you have an hour.
The Compound Cost of Limited Views
Daily Content Audit
- In Ghost Admin: 60 clicks, 15 minutes
- With a wide-angle view: 0 clicks, 30 seconds
- Time saved: 14.5 minutes daily
Real Teams, Real Frustration
"I spend the first hour of every day clicking through posts to see what needs attention. It's 2024, and I'm using a CMS that shows less information than a spreadsheet from 1985."
— Sarah Chen, Digital Agency

Imagine opening your Ghost admin and seeing everything at once: Primary tags, meta descriptions, word counts, excerpt previews, featured image status, custom metadata fields, last updated timestamps, social sharing data.
No more archaeological expeditions through your content. See patterns immediately. Content audits become visual scans. SEO reviews happen at a glance. Quality checks are instantaneous.
Professional content management requires professional tools. You need to see your entire content landscape, not peer through a periscope.
