We love building themes & We also love Ghost. And we always wanted to have a possibility to blog that's similar to Medium.com, but without the drawbacks (like no control over your data & loss of all rights to your content, etc.). So we made a theme for Ghost that takes the good parts from Medium.com & mixes them with stuff I would do differently.
You can have a look at it here: http://www.svenread.com/readium-ghost-theme/
