I want a backend service I can call from my statically generated (i.e. jekyll) websites, to implement things like blog comments, analytics, etc.
A true cloud platform where I don't have to mess with admining and provisioning servers and containers. I want to just upload my code and pay for the cycles and bandwidth I use. Aws lambda for http basically.
- jwcrux 10y agodisqus + google analytics?
- marktangotango 10y agoI don't want disqus ads, nor google analytics referrer spam. Plus uBlock blocks ga, so it doesn't track the 'ghosts' ie technical users that are my target audience who use uBlock at a much larger percentage that the norm. I'd like to just implement what I need.
- herbst 10y agoUse goaccess on the server? Or cname ganalytics? I usually use g analytics for things that the server does not see and cross reference with goaccess. You cant make a new analytics without ending up in adblock lists anyway. Also disqus works without ads. There ad system sucks badly anyway i was making 30 cents a day on a website that makes at least 30$ with adsense. Even thought disqus used up even more space.
- mimming 10y agoI started to take a swing at the comments part a couple years ago with firebase: https://github.com/mimming/firebase-jekyll-comments https://github.com/mimming/firebase-jekyll-comments
- marktangotango 10y agoThat's pretty cool, what's the status? Have you had anyone adopt it? The setup seems a bit complex honestly. But generally, firebases nosql store is a turn off imo.

- stevekemp 10y agohttps://github.com/skx/e-comments/ 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.
