Technology

The simplest form of technology is the development and use of basic tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control fire and the later Neolithic Revolution increased the available sources of food, and the invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control their environment.

Apps & integrations

by

There are three primary ways to work with third-party services in Ghost: using Zapier, editing your theme, or using the Ghost API.

Zapier

You can connect your Ghost site to over 1,000 external services using the official integration with Zapier.

Zapier sets up automations with Triggers and Actions, which allows you to create and customise a wide range of connected applications.

Example: When someone new subscribes to a newsletter on a Ghost site (Trigger) then the contact information is automatically pushed into MailChimp (Action).

Editing your theme

One of the biggest advantages of using Ghost over centralised platforms is that you have total control over the front end of your site. Either customise your existing theme, or create a new theme from scratch with our Theme SDK.

You can integrate any front end code into a Ghost theme without restriction, and it will work just fine. No restrictions!

Here are some common examples:

  • Include comments on a Ghost blog with Disqus or Discourse
  • Implement MathJAX with a little bit of JavaScript
  • Add syntax highlighting to your code snippets using Prism.js
  • Integrate any dynamic forms from Google or Typeform to capture data
  • Just about anything which uses JavaScript, APIs and Markup.

Using the Public API

Ghost itself is driven by a set of core APIs, and so you can access the Public Ghost JSON API from external webpages or applications in order to pull data and display it in other places.

The Ghost API is thoroughly documented and straightforward to work with for developers of almost any level.

Alright, the last post in our welcome-series! If you’re curious about creating your own Ghost theme from scratch, here are some more details on how that works.

There has never been a better time to buy a smartphone than right now, here in 2019, and your friends at T3 have worked tirelessly to compile a list of the cream of the crop. If you’re looking for the best phones on the market today then you are in the right place, as this guide is stuffed full of the absolute best smartphones going. 

From the stunning Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and super slick Apple iPhone XS Max, to the insanely fast OnePlus 7 Pro, onto the photo-taking majesty of the Huawei P30 Pro, or the movie-watching joy delivered by the Sony Xperia 1, these truly are the best mobile phones on the market today.

So sit back, relax, and let us take you through the contenders…

Every quality phone worthy of your consideration can be found in our best phone 2019 guide – we’ve tested every aspect of each phone, from screen quality to battery life, from internal specs to camera quality. That way we can make very clear recommendations of what each phone’s strengths are and who they would be perfect partners for.

As phones are very important tools in our everyday lives, we’ve also spent some serious time with each handset in our best phones list as well, so we can let you know exactly what, say, the Google Pixel 3a, Xiaomi Mi 9 or Huawei Mate 20 Pro smartphones are like to live with on an extended daily basis.

We only include the absolute best phones in this list, so you can be sure you’re reading about the very latest, cutting-edge devices. We’ve listed all the phones in order of preference, too, so there’s no confusion – the first phone is the best phone that you can get in 2019.
