Proudly Powered by FOSS
Chingari Trust website is proudly built using only FOSS (free and open-source software) tools — made by generous, skilled communities around the world. We’re deeply grateful to the creators and contributors behind these tools, who make it possible for projects like ours to build, share, and grow with care and independence.
Here is the list of brilliant tools that help us build, run, and maintain our site:
Ghost: The best open source blog & newsletter platform
We use Ghost to publish blog posts and send email newsletters—all from one place. It’s fast, open-source, and comes with built-in tools for writing, design, and audience management. We’ve customised it using the Journal Theme.
