Why? A 12 line open source JavaScript library would do the same thing and wouldn't have to hit up external services in the first place.

- hughw 9y agoOh off the top of my head: - You have to persist comments right? 12 lines of JS? - You generally want some sort of (cross-site) user management - Spam - Moderation Seems a bit more complex than 12 lines of js. [Edited to add 'cross-site']
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y ago12 lines of JS to display a button that dumps arbitrary HTML into the page when clicked (i.e. the third party widget). But I see now that you were talking about a non-tracking comment engine - my bad. I personally wouldn't pay for such a thing. The current model I have post-Disqus is to have private comments emailed to me and public comments written in the form of blog posts that I'll link to at the bottom of the article.
