I've seen projects before that take this a step further and let people leave comments on any site on the web for other users of the same project to see. Unfortunately, they don't see a lot of adoption. But there always seems to be a small crowd ready at any time to try out one of these projects.
- LegitShady 5y agoThis dislike backlash might be a good impetus to get a lot of people into an alternate system
- monetus 5y agoAny notable ones you would care to mention? I'm picturing disqus implemented as a browser extension; I'm just curious.
- LegitShady 5y agoI imagine a better than Disqus system - something with better forum like tools that make the YouTube comments section look bad in comparison. YouTube videos can get thousands of views and their system or disqus' isn't really built to handle search, discovery, etc etc.
- Minor49er 5y agoNone that really come to mind, unfortunately. There was one called Fanbrowser that used to do this briefly a very long time ago, but that project has been torn down and rebuilt from scratch so many times that none of that functionality is left. One iteration of it let you browse through a directory of interests (sourced from the DMOZ). When you found a site, or if you typed in a URL, it would load that page in an iframe. You could bookmark pages and leave comments which other users would be able to see. Unfortunately, it didn't get much further than that, so it never had things like being able to follow other users or anything else. Plus, iframes became increasingly difficult to work with since web browsers started adopting a lot of privacy and security measures like CORS. But for a brief while, it was fun.
