Add reactivity to your Next.js blog using giscus
When creating my blog-centric personal portfolio, I had a goal of launching it as soon as possible. However, considering including a comment feature, the implementation process could be time-consuming. That's when I started looking for a solution that was easy to set up yet provided essential commenting functionalities. It was during this search that I stumbled upon Giscus.

To use Disqus or Giscus (Github Discussions) for comments is the conundrum
But now, a new fellow named giscus commenting system has entered the town, it's basically powered by github. Since I already host my blog on github pages, this should be a natural choice for me, right? Many bloggers seem to be migrating to this new system and I might too soon. The downsides however are as follows:

ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear. A privacy-first, no-nonsense, super-fast blogging platform
I've encountered https://github.com/utterance/utterances, which relies on github issues for providing a blog comments system of a sort.
Alternatively there's https://github.com/giscus/giscus, which instead uses github discussions.
Haven't used either so can't comment (heh) on their "performance".

There's also a recent similar tool called https://github.com/giscus/giscus that uses Github Discussions as the backing system, rather than Issues.

You're in a Cult
Could be in part bot activity. I've seen a couple other weird things rise up on here.
The blogging platform for this one is interesting, if you follow the rabbit hole a bit you'll find e.g. https://herman.bearblog.dev/building-software-to-last-foreve...
I don't see that many posts, but it appears to have some interesting traffic on it at present. Worth holding on to perhaps?

Does Hugo have a cloud backend integration that you can create new post/edit existing post without redeploying everything?
There's an open source, self-hosted clone of BearBlog, called PolarBearBlog [0], that builds a docker image and run it on Google Cloud Run. It uses Google Cloud Storage to manage a single JSON file for the whole blog contents (yes all your blog posts are in a single json file, which probably will start to show issues when you have hundreds of posts, but then again it's just markdown text so maybe that won't be a big issue anyways), and you only need to redeploy it if you made code change or system level config changes, which really is really more convenient than the whole static approach.
I made a clone of PolarBearBlog to add some of the features I care about, like cactus comment integration and rending full posts in the RSS feed. [1]
[0]: As far as I could tell PolarBearBlog has no affiliation with BearBlog, but it did get a mention in BearBlog's README: https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/blob/master/READM...
