Wow. This looks great. I loved Disqus when it first arrived as it gave static sites a way of having comments. Your product neatly fits the bill of giving us the ownership of the comments back.
I notice that the self hosting options use postgres only. Did you have any plans to expand upon that? (I use mysql mostly).
Keep up the great work!
- tszyn 8y agoAgreed – looks like a fantastic product! Seconding the question about MySQL support. I use MySQL for everything. I don't want to add extra gigs of RAM to my VPS just to run an instance of PostgreSQL for Commento. Postgres is much slower than MySQL in simple applications and uses a lot more memory per connection. MySQL is also more popular and more people know how to use it and tune it properly. Postgres is probably more stable, but I don't care about that in a commenting app.
- adtac 8y agoRight now, the code is tightly coupled with Postgres and it uses some Postgres-specific SQL stuff. But that said, I'll think about some kind of database abstraction layer and maybe even support SQLite. No promises right away though, haha.
