Not to put you down, but I think you should differentiate yourself well from Discourse (https://github.com/discourse/discourse https://github.com/discourse/discourse), as it is pretty popular with the open source communities.
- FraaJad 5y agoDisqus is "commenting as a service" for pages. Discourse is a "forum". Not the same thing.
- codinghorror 5y agoyes, this is true! We try to avoid the whole "comments on pages" model as it has not been sustainable, except in rare circumstances under heavy human moderation. https://blog.codinghorror.com/please-read-the-comments/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/please-read-the-comments/
- djyde 5y agoHi. Discourse is a discussion platform (forum), while Disqus and Cusdis are comment widget that embed to existed website (like embed in blogs). I think they are not the same.
- CarVac 5y agoDiscourse can be used to power embedded comment sections too.
- Syonyk 5y agoDiscourse is heavier as a forum, certainly, but it supports embedding in sites as a comment section, and will generally do useful things like "automatically create a new topic of discussion from the post." I agree that it's exceedingly heavy for comment only use (and generally requires user accounts), but if you're trying to build a community that also has blog posts, the two do integrate very nicely.
- codinghorror 5y agocorrect!
- O_H_E 5y agoAyyy, we got the man himself.
