  • giscus

    A comment system powered by GitHub Discussions. :octocat: :speech_balloon: :gem:

  • 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.

  • utterances

    :crystal_ball: A lightweight comments widget built on GitHub issues

  • 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.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Choose the repository in which you wish to utilize GitHub Discussions. In my case, it's nextjs-giscus-blog.

  • giscus-component

    Component library for giscus, a comment system powered by GitHub Discussions.

  • We can obtain the same outcome by utilizing the Giscus React component, a wrapper for the identical script. This approach appears more streamlined and seamlessly integrates with the React ecosystem.
