Hey r/Ghost 👋

We just released Essence. It's a simple Ghost blog theme: homepage is a post feed, and most of the personality comes from the visuals.

- Liquid Glass post cards

- Animated Shader backgrounds (lots of presets)

- Sidebar navigation

No landing page builder. No portfolio layout. Just a feed that looks good.

Demo: https://essence.priority.vision/

Details: https://www.priority.vision/themes/essence/

Happy to answer questions.

P.S. Liquid Glass currently only works in Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Brave…). Safari/Firefox get a glass fallback instead. Open the demo in Chrome if you want the real refraction.

Our first under the Hardline label, just went live on the Marketplace. We want feedback from people who actually build in Framer before we sink more time into variants.

I spent a while scrolling this sub and the Marketplace. Lots of agency, SaaS, fitness, portfolio templates. Almost nothing for gaming, horror, streaming, or editorial media. The gaming ones that do show up are usually esports landing pages. We built Horr as a content hub instead: news, blog, categories, merch.

Dark look, editorial layouts, shop sections. CMS, responsive, decent a11y work on our end.

1. Underserved niche, or are we building for a gap that isn't there?
2. If you've sold templates here, what actually got your first sale?
3. What would you expect on a gaming/media site that this doesn't have?

Early days, no sales yet. Blunt feedback helps.
