Zusam VS remark42

But I didn't like the fact that it was tied to facebook. I decided to put into practice what I've learned that year at my informatics school and created forum written in php. It was not much but we liked the fact that it was ours.

Ten years later, I'm still fiddling on it and it has grown to a real open-source project that you can find on github [0]. It's still primarly here to serve me since I'm the only maintainer but starts to be driven by external propositions. It's meant to be easy to deploy, easy to use, cheap in resources and reliable.

Would Zusam work?

You could also add a link to the project and not just your blog: https://github.com/zusam/zusam

I actually came across Zusam which does video processing to some extent, so I'm thinking I'll take a closer look at that and see whether it does any downsizing or at least embeds it (all the forums I've tried so far just attach a video as a file attachment, and you download to view).

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 (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
