CommentBox.io VS giscus

Could you embed a web object? Maybe use something like this: https://devilpenakut.medium.com/free-comment-widget-for-websites-and-blogs-574aca4341f (free) or this: https://commentbox.io/ (not free but fairly cheap and more control). Source: about 1 year ago

Ooo, you even added in comment boxes, nice! It's the free Comment Box thing, right? I'm thinking of using that for my own neocities site once I get it started up. Source: over 1 year ago

You can use embed pages from community softwares like Discourse or Flarum or you can use HTML Commentbox or you can just build your own commenting system (it's not that hard). Another option can be Commentbox but it requires external login but only allows third-party auth and has lots of options like Twitter, FB, Google, Github etc. Source: almost 2 years ago

For regular comments (and not like a guestbook/chat or something) I see a lot of people using commentbox https://commentbox.io/. Source: almost 2 years ago

- Not familiar with n8n.io, looks like it's similar to Zapier. We don't have any integration like this yet, but most functional components that you can add to your Typedream site (like forms, waitlist, etc) can be done using HTML embeds.

I first used basic google analytics but found it too invasive/heavy so I switched over to https://www.goatcounter.com/. For comments, most solutions were also too heavy, paid or had ads, but I finally found https://giscus.app/. So while I did add these 2 features, I'm happy with those variants that I managed to find. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Every blog needs some social interaction, like comments and reactions. I didn't want to spend a lot of time on creating a reliable comment system. After some research, I found Giscus which uses GitHub Discussions to integrate comments. It's very easy to customize and use.

Then I met Giscus and a simple local implementation by an ID that all posts have worked without any trouble. However, although this site is simple in its concept, the potential for the Users' engagement via comments can be quite a thing and that could create a rate-limit issue in the future. Fortunately, Giscus can be self-hosted. Source: 10 months ago
