I love the idea to put an IRC chat below the page for more lively comments. Here, it seems to come next to Disqus comments but it could also be a replacement.

- buovjaga 9y agoI wish it would be replaced with https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/ https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/ as qwebirc is quite dated :)
- _sdegutis 9y agoI've toyed with putting WebSocket-based live chat boxes on pages with various types of more traditional dynamic content (like an imgur clone) because I don't think we've exhausted all the interesting ways that people can interact in real time on the internet, but in practice there's always the problem that there are a very dense super active times and then tons of large super dead times, and it gives way to a group of people with shared interest that wants to turn into a live community but just can't and after a few days of checking in often for other people, they just get back on with their lives and abandon the thing.
- ktpsns 9y agoI think that's the reason why blogs without comment function gain ground. On the one hand static blog generators are practical, but they also are a confession that not every blog has a lively community.
