tlk VS remark42

- everything proxied with caddy

just today i set up miniflux and https://github.com/vasanthv/talk

i look forward to hearing about new projects that i can deploy to improve my friends' lives; i hear about them here

but it's not even just what you've encouraged me to do: once i had my server working i became consumed by the idea that i could do it all myself, so i started to try to self-host email. you all helped encourage me to give up that nightmare and just pay a real company to do it for me

this points at maybe what i'm most thankful for: i have a much deeper and more sophisticated understanding of the technology stack i interact with at any given time. even if i'm not "in control", at least knowing how i'm not in control gives a sense of security

more than that, i'm able to impress my nephew, a supposed computer genius, by simply regurgitating the latest talking points from HN. maybe this is the most valuable benefit i've derived so far....

one of the other things i've done is to self-host a ghost installation for the benefit of my friends, john and borka. they basically live like monks for the benefit of the preservation of the amazon rainforest. with HN's help, i have been able to set them up with a website:

https://RioMomon.rhizoma.zone

sometimes at this time of year people look for something to which to donate. the nice thing about rio momon is that all of the money goes directly towards the mission (web hosting & web dev costs, for example, are borne by me -- and i am able to do it easily, because HN taught me)

thank you!

I'm not sure if it's the same person but love your project talk! Running it myself :)

Looks like it's at https://github.com/vasanthv/talk

https://remark42.com/ is far better, comes with a lot less garbage code, except it selfhosted

remark42 is used in production, this has been taken straight out of it

Remark42

Remark42 (Open source, Golang, Easy to run docker)

For comment system, I choose Coral Project Talk because it could use Akismet and Google Perspective API. I also need to think about the remove comments when user delete their account (GDPR stuff). Coral Talk have function in the UI. It seems Remark42 UI is not completed for this part ( see https://github.com/umputun/remark42/issues/54 ) But for development wise, it took one month for the Coral Project devs to get a reply for cheking an issue. They also turned down feature requests and said it's in the roadmap. If Coral Project Talk doesn;t exist, I probably choose Remark42.

on their github page :) https://github.com/umputun/remark42

Remark42 is also good https://github.com/umputun/remark42
