staticman VS Taiga

Staticman - Staticman is a Node.js application that receives user-generated content and uploads it as data files to a GitHub and/or GitLab repository, using Pull Requests.

Staticman

Another possible solution to add dynamic content to a GitHub website is to use staticman. On the opposite of the previous solutions using external databases, staticman creates files in your repository, updating your website statically. It is free and open-source but not as straightforward to implement as disqus. The nice thing is that it will store all your comments in your git repository, so there is no risk of losing them.

This article is part of a series showing you how to quickly and freely build and host your own Jekyll blog on GitHub Pages. This series will also cover more advanced topics like adding a comment system directly in our code using Staticman and adding privacy-friendly but still free analytics using Umami.

I'm late to the game, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned StaticMan yet:

Just uses Git(Hub) to triage and approve comments for your static sites, like Jekyll.

Alternatives from my notes (never used them IRL):

I'll also check out plane.so and taiga.io. I have not checked those out.

My team at work uses taiga

taiga.io — Project management platform for startups and agile developers, free for Open Source

The folks being Penpot also make a kanban management tool, kind of like Trello, called Taiga: http://taiga.io/ And it's also OSS.

I'm rooting for both of these, and now that they have some funding I hope they'll dedicate effort on polishing the rough edges (and do something about gratuitous amount of white space that permeates all of their web presence, and maybe reconsider their color pallete). They're very close, so I think and hope we'll some wonderful results very soon.

Taiga - Storage limitation

taiga.io has been good in my experience

^ This installs docker first (not sure if needed, but I'm trying to figure out how to set up taiga.io on my k3s cluster and they seem to want docker?

Do you have to use Windows? :s Sure it'll work but it's not because you can that you should... Anyway, I looked a bit at their docker-compose, it is a very complicated app, so Docker is definitely the way to go but maybe you should get the hang of it with the base nginx image, then build your own image just serving simple stuff, because it might seem a bit overwhelming to start with something as advanced as taiga.io. Of course, looking at the myriad of docker tutorials out there might help tremendously, too.
