Seems the project isn't being so actively developed any longer? https://github.com/coralproject/talk/graphs/contributors Why is that? (In the summer of 2018 and onwards, 90%? 95%? of the GitHub activity abruptly disappeared) Two other open source blog commenting system that are being actively developed are Commento https://commento.io and Talkyard https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments (I'm developing it).

Their license says the copyright of the project belongs to Mozilla. How weird. https://github.com/coralproject/talk/blob/master/LICENSE

For a static Github Pages website, I would like to have a commenting system. The idea is to use Firebase, because: 1. It gives social login: Google, Twitter, Github, FB 2. I want to use Firebase for some other functionality not related to comments. For a user it should be very convenient: once authenticated he/she can comment and can use other site features (these "features" rely on Firebase) So much theory. I started to search for Firebase commenting system and... I can find only the projects with 0 or 1 release, projects with 1 contributor, projects abandoned 5 years ago, example projects... you got the idea. A commenting system should have a few features: something like an admin interface; something to fight/prevent spam. I can not find such a thing with Firebase as a backend! There are quite advanced self-hosted systems, Coralproject

We used to use Mongoose in our project[0], but found that at the volumes of interactions we were dealing with, it was orders of magnitude faster to just use the raw Node.JS driver. [0]: https://github.com/coralproject/talk/tree/next
