• 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 / 18 days 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 / 8 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 / 9 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: 10 months ago

• Using GitHub Discussions to host my Astro blog comments and reactions

  When I was reading one of the blogs on TkDodo's website, I noticed he was using GisCus for his comment section. GisCus is based on GitHub Discussions, so I already had this feature available to me as part of the repository I host my website on. The setup was very easy, on the GisCus website you can select the repository you want to use, and it will generate a script for you to include in your website. This will... - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Linen.dev: The 500KB Slack Alternative

  This looks cool! I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it. I searched and searched for an easy and free (for a small number of user) community building SaaS that I could easily integrate into my static website. I ended up trying to launch my community via github discussions + giscus[1]. Don't know if it will scale well and I dont get the SEO benefit of the forum actually being at my domain, but its really simple... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Write and deploy blogs in seconds with comments support

  A few days ago I wrote my first blog and wanted to make a website for it. So I made one using Next.js and MDX. While making it I got an idea.

Created a Github app which listens for push events and automatically updates the website, and also added comments support using giscus. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
