500+ comments and 5k+ page loads in the last few hours, but it turns out the backend was still pretty fast. It was the JavaScript that dynamically generated the comments web page that added a couple of seconds of delay. Looks like I know wh

I'd love to get help with Redis. I don't know anything beyond the absolute basics, so it'd really be useful if someone with more experience give lend a hand! If you'd like to discuss, please add your input here: https:&

Not yet. You can export comments from Commento as a JSON, but you can't import from the same format. Sucks, I know, but I'll try to implement this soon.

I plan on implementing SSO for the next release (v1.7.0), but I've been a bit busy with school work for the past week or so. Still about ~2 weeks away, by my estimate.

Importing from Wordpress isn't officially supported yet, but others have found workarounds. One person imported their Wordpress comments into Disqus and then imported that into Commento. While native support within Commento would be in

It's doing alright. Pays for its server bill, so I'm happy about that :)

Around Apr 2017. Released v1.0 (almost a full rewrite, but still in Go) in Jan 2018. Launched the hosted version in Feb 2019 after almost 6 months of private beta.

Ah, that sucks. The hosted version uses Cloudfront as CDN for static assets, too bad they don't support it. >official looking Google project which is long abandoned Is [1] what you're talking about? [1] https://godoc

Yep, looks doable. All you need to do is insert two tags: a <script> and a <div>. You can also disable auto loading and manually trigger loading comments (see `data-auto-init` in the docs [1]). [1] https://docs.commen

Funny story behind that. I originally thought the name was Latin for "comments". Naming things is hard, so I figured I'd just take the easy way out and translate from a dead language. I realised it was Italian only months lat

I've done some basic benchmarks and it has scaled pretty well. Mostly thanks to the excellent performance and scalability that comes from choosing Go and Postgres. IMO backend servers are where Go excels. I'm planning on adding Re

Host operating systems need a init, of course. I was just startled by the irrelevant discussion on alpine's init system when it isn't involved anywhere.

I just ran `docker run -it alpine /bin/sh` and when inside, I ran top. It looks like `/bin/sh` ran as PID 1. No init, just sh (busybox in this case). Edit: Ah you meant the host OS. I can't reply to wezm down below

I wish DNT was honoured, but it's as good as a "do not commit crime" sign.

You can self-host Commento too :) In fact, that was the only way until recently haha.

You can override the styling with your own CSS. See https://docs.commento.io/configuration/frontend/ Right now, there isn't any unique class for root level comments, but it should be trivial to add such a cla

Right now, the code is tightly coupled with Postgres and it uses some Postgres-specific SQL stuff. But that said, I'll think about some kind of database abstraction layer and maybe even support SQLite. No promises right away though, ha

SSO is a planed feature. It's still pending design, but basically here's how it'd work: you'd be required to make a request to the Commento API when someone logs into your website or creates a new account. You will be a

Yep. So you'll need to start an export of your comments on Disqus. They'll send you a link to an archive. Paste that link in the dashboard and all comments will be downloaded and imported (preserving formatting, reply structure, e

OAuth is supported, so you don't need a new account. If you have a Google/Github account, you're good. I'll be adding more providers soon too (Twitter/Gitlab). Alternatively, you can choose to post anonymously, if y
