# Ghost vs wasp

Ghost and wasp share 8 technologies: Vite, React, React Router, Express, Tailwind CSS, React Hook Form, Zod, and nodemailer. Both are written in TypeScript.

- [TryGhost/Ghost](https://seerepo.com/r/TryGhost/Ghost): Independent technology for modern publishing, memberships, subscriptions and newsletters.
- [wasp-lang/wasp](https://seerepo.com/r/wasp-lang/wasp): The batteries-included full-stack framework for the AI era. Develop JS/TS web apps (React, Node.js, and Prisma) using declarative code that abstracts away complex full-stack features like auth, background jobs, RPC, email sending, end-to-end type safety, single-command deployment, and more.
