Ask HN: Best comment box free or commercial?
I need to add a comment box to my website. I looked into Disqus - but given recent hack is concerning. Any recommendations for a comment plugin ? I don't want to migrate my website to medium or other CMS platform since it's mostly ready already.
- KajMagnus 9y agoI'm developing embedded comments, like Disqus. Here's how it looks (scroll down to the bottom): https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments What tech stack does your website use? Can I ask what do you write about? Maybe a link? Anyway, the commeting system I'm developing, has some unique ideas — look here: https://www.effectivediscussions.org/-32/how-hacker-news-can-be-improved-3-things https://www.effectivediscussions.org/-32/how-hacker-news-can.... However, I haven't ported all that to embedded-comments yet. It's open source for installation on your own server (https://github.com/debiki/ed-server https://github.com/debiki/ed-server) — or $2/month hosting if you don't want to install things yourself. Currently there are no installation instructions ... but I'm actually planning to deploy a new server version later today, with installation instructions. ——— More alternatives: - Schnack, https://www.vis4.net/blog/2017/10/hello-schnack/ https://www.vis4.net/blog/2017/10/hello-schnack/ - Remarbox, https://my.remarkbox.com https://my.remarkbox.com - HostedComments, https://www.hostedcomments.com/ https://www.hostedcomments.com/ - Isso: https://posativ.org/isso/ https://posativ.org/isso/ - Mozilla's Talk, https://github.com/coralproject/talk https://github.com/coralproject/talk
