I have taken a look at Juvia (an open source alternative to Disqus), but have not moved forward with it: https://github.com/phusion/juvia https://github.com/phusion/juvia I am still with Disqus. The biggest problem I have with Disqus is that it is a 3rd party service, meaning: - I do not control my own blog's data, as I did with wordpress - third parties can peer into the identities of my visitors, eavesdrop on their comments, modify those comments, etc - my otherwise static website now has a new vector for injecting exploits (i.e. via Disqus dependencies) - Ghostery rightly blocks Disqus... and this gives me a moment's pause I have seen SMTP-based static comments for Jeckyl: https://github.com/mpalmer/jekyll-static-comments https://github.com/mpalmer/jekyll-static-comments ...but this actually introduces a .php dependency! At any rate, I am eager to hear about other alternatives in the self-hosted comment space, particularly those that are compatible with static blog workflows.
