I looked into your work - remarkbox and read through all the while hoping/wishing for there would be a self-hosted version that is not prohibitively expensive for a free personal blog. No luck for me. Back to tinkering with self-hosted isso[1] comment system to make it work for me. https://posativ.org/isso/ https://posativ.org/isso/

If I had your requirements I would look into isso too! Tinkering is a great way to learn as well, keep up the the great work. If you decide that you would rather tinker on something else, and just want a hosted comment service to be a solved thing for your personal blog, please reach back out and I'll try to work with you.

Since self-hosted is a requirement (?), then you might also find EffectiveDiscussons (ED) interesting — here's how embedded comments looks: https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments (scroll down to the bottom) it has more "modern" features than Isso, e.g. FB and Gmail login, & some new ideas. Here's an about page with more info: https://www.effectivediscussions.org/blog-comments https://www.effectivediscussions.org/blog-comments (I'm developing it.) Embedded comments requires JS, but ... the discussion forum part of ED (not embedded) works like Web 2.0, that can fallback to Web 1.0 (I mean, static HTML with no JS). Although this is only partly implemented.
