Ghost itself chose to not solve commenting. They give you flexibility to install commenting via js or however else you see fit by allowing editing of templates.

- bishalb 7y agoI wonder what the motivation for that would have been. There seem to be many users of Ghost who are asking for this functionality and I don't think it's a big deal for the Ghost team to implement that. I think it is not a good idea to rely on a third party for commenting especially if you have a thriving blog. They could ban you or just shut down services(Google Plus comments), some insert their own ads(Disqus) and so on.
- johnonolan 7y agoGlad to hear it's no big deal to solve it :) https://github.com/tryghost https://github.com/tryghost - looking forward to your PR!
- bishalb 7y agoI see you are a founder of Ghost. Maybe I would have given it a shot if I were proficient in Node or JS :) But I remember creating toy blog app that had commenting feature, some years back. Like the GP, I was also under the impression that Ghost doesn't support commenting by design but you are suggesting otherwise. I find it hard to believe that adding commenting system(something that all major CMSs have had since forever) would be that technically challenging that it hasn't been added even six years after its first release.
