Show HN: Blog comments, nice looking, open source – Talkyard

https://blog-comments.talkyard.io/demo/
2•KajMagnus•4h ago
Disqus alternative. License: AGPL. Uses a bit much memory (2 GB min, 4 better), should be possible to get below 0.5 GB if pre-compiling JVM stuff.

There's SaaS hosting. Long term (2027+ ?), the idea is that inactive blogs (those that don't get comments) pay 1? 2? EUR / month. Then, one wouldn't need to feel stressed up about having an inactive blog — it'd cost about the same as the domain name.

Previously on HN: (as you can see, I've been working on this for a while — had another job in between, and, sleepiness health problems, making things take longer, plus, being generally clueless in the beginning)

- Show HN: New embedded comments, open-source, new features, alt to Disqus and Talk, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15242630 (1 comment, 2017)

- New open source Disqus alternative: Debiki Embedded Comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7205878 (9 comments, 2014)

- Show HN: A better discussion system. For blogs, forums, perhaps sites like HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4823103 (7 comments, 2012)

Biz model isn't really blog comments — instead, it's forum software and B2B (the software works for forums too). But blogs are fun :-) and I need blog comments myself, so much to write about. Made in Sweden. No ads, no tracking.
