I wonder how this compares with Commento?
Differences I've found:
FastComments has a smaller Javascript file.
Commento is open source. Could it be more stable since been around for longer?
What would you say, @winrid? There's this blog post: "Migrating From Commento To FastComments" -- what are the main reasons someone would do that?
- winrid 7y agoHey, first of all thanks for asking the right questions! :) I have considered putting together a big "FastComments vs..." chart to answer these questions. I'm trying to offer a larger feature set than Commento. This means things like: 1. Better ways to fight spam 2. Migration supports more than just Disqus. 3. Inline image support (which will also be able to be toggled in the future) 4. Customization on a per domain or url basis: https://blog.fastcomments.com/(1-24-2020)-how-to-make-a-comment-system-like-hackaday.com.html https://blog.fastcomments.com/(1-24-2020)-how-to-make-a-comm... 5. No signup process, no passwords. Everything is email based, however we allow anonymous comments now (configurable). Also, solutions for larger customers (integrations, developer support, etc). At the highest tier for $20/mo Commento gives you 100k monthly page views. FastComments gives you one million on the lowest tier (closer to what Disqus gives you on the lowest tier, but cheaper). I'm not sure Commento has pagination? I'd have to check. But we just added that today too. Also, a cool blog post is coming on how you can optimize threaded pagination! :) But yes Commento has been around longer. I think I'll catch up quickly though.
