e-comments

My solution was is here - https://github.com/skx/e-comments There are others, such as https://github.com/posativ/isso/ out there too. There doesn't seem to be a single "standard" solution, because most people just don't care. They use Wordpress, or similar, with integrated comment-support, or they use disuqis.

Had to read the documentation to see that serving the comments-widget one time consumes 1 credit, but sending a single email-notification consumes 15. It seems very "expensive" to send emails. Looks like a cute product, and the pricing mechanism is interesting. Good luck. (I wrote some a simple self-hosted system, far less featureful, but it seems popular enough - http://github.com/skx/e-comments/ )

For what it is worth my own "toy" project for self-hosted dynamic comments does exactly that. I support Redis and SQLite for hosting comments, and it should be possible for another user to contribute support for different backing-stores. Plugins are supported for spam-detection, which lets me use the https://blogspam.net service (which I host) for doing real-time blog/forum spam detection.

All (?) upcoming alternatves to Disqus: (my own listed last) - Mozilla's Talk, https://github.com/coralproject/talk. Open source, install yourself. - Discourse, https://www.discourse.org/. One needs to navigate to a separate page, to post a comment. Not threaded. Min $20/month. Open source. Facebook and Gmail login. - Isso: https://posativ.org/isso/. Open source, install on your own server. - Commento, https://github.com/adtac/commento. Open source. Moderation, spam-protection and hosting is under development. - Schnack, https://www.vis4.net/blog/2017/10/hello-schnack/. Open source, install yourself. Has GitHub and Facebook login. - HostedComments, https://www.hostedcomments.com/. Proprietory. Min $10/month - Remarbox, https://www.remarkbox.com/. Proprietory. Min $4/month - Gitalk. https://github.com/gitalk/gitalk. Open source, install yo

My own solution is here: https://github.com/skx/e-comments Which you can see demo'd on this page: https://tweaked.io/guide/demo/ Simple, no facebook-login, etc, but scales well and seems to offer enough to make conversation useful. (Threading, spam-filtering on the server-side, and simple to add to pages.)

There are several self-hosted alternatives, for example my own toy-project: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/

I wrote a self-hosted alternative: * https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ You can see the demo-page here: * https://tweaked.io/guide/demo/

Also my toy-project: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ Demo: https://tweaked.io/guide/demo/

I wrote a simple system like disquis, which you can find here: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ I just used SQLite, but psql/mysql would work just as well. Handling comments, even threaded ones, isn't likely to be too heavyweight.

If you like external & self-hosted javascript-based comments you might enjoy this toy project of my own: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/

I also wrote a self-hosted comment-server: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ Mine uses Redis or SQLite for storage, and uses markdown. The biggest difference is mine is flat. I keep thinking I should rework it to allow nested comments, and avatars, but at the same time it is nice and simple as-is..

Take a look at my toy project: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ You can see them in use on my tweaked site, e.g: https://tweaked.io/guide/demo/

https://github.com/skx/e-comments/ was my take on that - a disquis-like service that allows static-sites to add comments via javascript inclusion.

And there are a few self-hosted "external comment" systems out there, including my own simple one: https://github.com/skx/e-comments/
