Show HN: I'm working on a open-source, self-host alternative to Disqus

• commento

  21 3,707 0.0 Go

  A fast, bloat-free comments platform (Github mirror)

How does this compare to Commento?

https://commento.io/

• Discourse

  198 40,422 10.0 Ruby

  A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple.

  

Not to put you down, but I think you should differentiate yourself well from Discourse (https://github.com/discourse/discourse), as it is pretty popular with the open source communities.

Coral is poorly advertised outside it's ecosystem, but should be considered. https://github.com/coralproject/talk

See https://docs.coralproject.net/coral/v5/integrating/cms/ to get an idea of it's use.

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.

Great to hear! I tried using it at CommunityRule.info but ran into no-go issues, which I posted here: https://gitlab.com/commento/commento/-/issues/391

Also would love for it to be easier to match the CSS to the host site.

Was running it self-hosted on Cloudron but would be happy to try the paid, hosted product if it worked for me.

• commento-ansible-playbook

  1 3 0.0 HTML

  Host a free commento.io instance at home or in the cloud with auto-renewing SSL certs and Dynamic DNS, all in just 5 minutes!

I run commento on my blog right now, and it works fine for me.

You can even deploy it relatively painlessly. A little googling brought up an ansible playbook to set it up with minimal configuration: https://github.com/kathawala/commento-ansible-playbook
