I don't know why you use Disqus when there is an Opensource alternative: Glosa --> https://github.com/glosa/glosa-server https://github.com/glosa/glosa-server

- bartread 6y agoSeveral reasons immediately spring to mind: - it's yet another dependency on the back end (for a static site you may not even have a back end or a server you can install it on), - it requires Java, which is possibly yet another dependency and platform, - both of these need patching and updates - I do not love comment storage in JSON because it complicates backups - needs email configuration which can be something of a deliverability minefield, but Disqus handles this out of the box Fundamentally it's more work/complexity than some people will be willing to put in. Disqus is easy. Just drop it into your relevant page templates and it'll work.
