upptime VS utterances

5. Upptime

edit: we have been using https://upptime.js.org/ to monitor our app and website.

I use https://upptime.js.org/ with github pages for free

Upptime - awesome use of Github Actions: https://upptime.js.org

Recently I found an interesting project: upptime/upptime: ⬆️ Free uptime monitor and status page powered by GitHub

Here you go, completely free. Fork the repo and you're off. Uses Github Actions https://upptime.js.org/

Nice! Does it work via GitHub Actions like UppTime?

The other day I stumbled across upptime.js which is an uptime monitor and status page that's built entirely on GitHub Actions, Issues, and Pages. After looking through the project I thought that's pretty cool that you can do this all with just GitHub. I was wondering if there are other examples of projects like this that use these GitHub tools in ways other than the traditional Devops/CI/CD type stuff you usually see.

You could check out https://github.com/upptime/upptime it's free and internally is based upon GitHub actions , so may not always be the most reliable but still pretty cool., You can even create dashboards to view your uptime like mine websites uptime dahboard https://dpirad007.github.io/dionpinto-upptime/

Handling New Comments: There are excellent lightweight comment utilities available for managing comments on your eleventy blog. I personally use Utterances, but Giscus is also a great alternative.

We can use utteranc.es, a lightweight comment widget built on GitHub Issues to integrate authed comments in our blog.

utterances (open-source)

Typically, a comment requires server side code and a lot of messy management. It’s a pain. These comments rely on a tool called utterances. Utterances uses GitHub’s issue tracker which was designed to track bugs, as part of that it includes extensive comment and discussion capabilities. If an issue doesn’t exist, utterances will automatically create that issue for you. It created this issue for the comments in this page...

I've installed utterances on my GitHub repo. I've configured it and given it the appropriate permissions. At the end of setup, it provided me with an HTML script and the following instructions:

Fortunatly we have free, lightweight and efficient options to add comments in blog website or any website. I am talking about utteranc.es. A lightweight comments widget built on GitHub issues. Use GitHub issues for blog comments, wiki pages and more!

Go to https://utteranc.es and follow the instructions to set up the commenting system.

Giscus drew significant inspiration from utterances, which utilize an issue-based comment system instead of discussions. I experimented with utterances initially, but I found it less convenient due to its reliance on an issue tracker for conversational purposes.

If you're building a blog for developers, you can use a third-party commenting service that requires login with github, for example https://utteranc.es/
