• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

• Twilio Video Going Down ! What next ?

  If you're looking for a similar tool then Whereby has a easy to use SDK. Source: 7 months ago

• What Comes After Zoom?

  I use: https://whereby.com I don't know if it can handle sizable calls but it works well for me. It's simple, seems to have a decent privacy policy, and has always worked for me and others. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• How Zoom’s terms of service and practices apply to AI features

  To pile on the alternative recommendations: I've enjoyed using Whereby[0] in the past. I also somehow keep forgetting about them in these discussions until someone reminds me. The main thing of it for me is it's been more reliable than Jitsi (though I do need to give Jitsi another try) and doesn't need to be self-hosted.

• My proud first long term sidehustle project

  Yes. It is with React and Next.js. And the video meeting call functionality is implemented using WhereBy. Source: about 1 year ago

• Converting BlogCFC blog to Eleventy

  Handling New Comments: There are excellent lightweight comment utilities available for managing comments on your eleventy blog. I personally use Utterances, but Giscus is also a great alternative. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• A blog post is a long and complex search query to find people

  You might want to look into using giscus[1] for a commenting system on your blog. All it needs is a public GH repository to host the discussions, after which you simply embed a script into each blog post, and visitors will be able to leave a comment using their GH account.

• What has your personal website/blog done for you?

  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 / 10 months ago

• Building A Blog Website with Next.js

  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. Just adding one component gave me a fully-functional comment system with authentication and reactions. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• How exactly do I self-host Giscus?

  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: 12 months ago
