commento VS webmention.io

Commento (privacy-focused)

If I am not misunderstanding what you are trying to built, it seems that it exists already: https://www.powr.io/comments-website-app or https://commento.io/

Thanks - that one is on my short list along with Commento.

You might wanna check out commento as I've heard good things. Haven't personally used but the impression I get from it is quite positive.

Commento (https://commento.io/ ) is a nice service that I've used with static site generators like Hugo -- very easy to add to a project - no real coding required to include it, and people can add comments to your blog etc... Honest straightforward pricing model for their SASS offering, and it's open source, so you can host it yourself if you have a server.

Given that I don't want to rely on proprietary services, does anyone know of a Commento to Notado's Disqus? (i.e. equivalent but self-hostable and open-source)

Something like Commento?

Commento (Open Source, available as a service, local install, or docker image)

Webmentions (webmention.io) are a way to bring social activity and interactivity to your site without having it on your platform itself or needing to have complex systems in place. Harness the activity, audience, and functionality from existing platforms.

async function getMentions(url) { let mentions = []; let page = 0; let perPage = 100; while (true) { const results = await fetch( `https://webmention.io/api/mentions.jf2?target=${url}&per-page=${perPage}&page=${page}` ).then((r) => r.json()); mentions = mentions.concat(results.children); if (results.children.length < perPage) { break; } page++; } return mentions.sort((a, b) => ((a.published || a['wm-received']) < (b.published || b['wm-received']) ? -1 : 1)); }

Webmentions: https://webmention.io/

In the interim, I found myself pondering why every webmentions-on-Hugo solution I’d ever found up to now used JavaScript, rather than trying to do it purely in Hugo. After all, Hugo sports plenty of data-grabbing horsepower. For example: in my own experience to date, I’ve found Hugo's getJSON feature just as useful as the node-fetch on which the aforementioned JS relied to grab data from webmention.io.

One of the building blocks for such a system might be something like:
