You should definitely check out most of the content produced by Arvid Kahl and Rob Fitzpatrick. Especially The Embedded Entrepreneur and The Mom Test. I'd put money on 99% of people reading this having heard of both already, but hey, you never know. Source: about 2 years ago

I would also recommend reading Arvid Kahl's book https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/. He presents a reliable approach for finding an audience to serve, "embedding" yourself into their communities, finding good problems to solve, and building your product in public with & for them. This book changed the way I think about entrepreneurship. Source: over 2 years ago

If I am not misunderstanding what you are trying to built, it seems that it exists already: Https://www.powr.io/comments-website-app or https://commento.io/. Source: 11 months ago

You might wanna check out commento as I've heard good things. Haven't personally used but the impression I get from it is quite positive. Source: about 1 year ago

Commento (https://commento.io/ ) is a nice service that I've used with static site generators like Hugo -- very easy to add to a project - no real coding required to include it, and people can add comments to your blog etc... Honest straightforward pricing model for their SASS offering, and it's open source, so you can host it yourself if you have a server. Source: over 1 year ago

Given that I don't want to rely on proprietary services, does anyone know of a Commento to Notado's Disqus? (i.e. Equivalent but self-hostable and open-source). Source: over 1 year ago
