Setting up a new ghost app. about ghost-app HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @andrew-luhring, welcome to Ghost!

I totally appreciate your enthusiasm! Unfortunately, apps are still a work in progress, and have been ignored for a time whilst we shipped other stuff. I don't think it's been tested recently so it may well be completely broken at the moment. The documentation you found is intended for people creating demo apps whilst trying to make apps work. Obviously, at some point we need people to try to build real world apps in order to test that everything is working, but I'm not sure that time has come just yet.

Two alternative things for you:

1. You can pull out the first image in a post, if it's the first thing in the post using the {{content words="0"}} hack
2. The post images feature is one of the next things we want to work on, so why not throw your developer might behind the Ghost repo and help us get it shipped?

I just updated the "Installing" part of https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/wiki/Apps-Getting-Started-for-Ghost-Devs. Note the backslash escaped double quotes!

Seems to work for me, but as of now I've just added console.log() to the lifecycle methods. Next step: adding a handlebar helper (although #14 is not very encouraging... )
