- kbar13 10y agocare to elaborate what features isso was missing?
- jdsin 10y agoActually I wanted something even more simpler. No usernames, avatars,emails,threading, none of that. I just wanted the simplest way to add comments, and to keep spammers out, that it. I feel isso is more useful for blogs that have a ton of comment interactions. FYI I agree that comments are not bigdata, I should have used sqlite as well..
- mikekchar 10y agoI'm curious about why you have a static website hosted by someone else, but then host your own comments? Is there some advantage to keeping the comments separated from the content?
- voltagex_ 10y agoStatic hosting is pretty much free, then the comments can go on a cheap server. I looked into using Discourse to do something like this, but they refuse to reduce their memory usage (2GB minimum required, I think)
- jdsin 10y agoExactly! I host my blog for free on github, and the comments on free account from www.pythonanywhere.com.
