Inspired by giscus, but different:
- No client JavaScript * Pure HTML forms, no iframe
- Performance * Zero JavaScript to load, no bloat to tank your Lighthouse scores * Read: As fast as your CDN can serve static content (<100ms usually and >30k req/s on Cloudflare's CDN) * Write: 50 comments per second, up to 25k comments per day
- Anonymous * No GitHub account required to comment
- Cloudflare D1 * Comments stored in your own D1 database, not a third-party service * Up to \~25,000 comments per day and \~10 million stored on the Cloudflare free tier
- Moderation tooling * Auto-approve, or review first with approve / reject / spam / ban
- Optional AI mod * Workers AI blocks spam on submission, legitimate comments go through instantly * \~3,000 classifications per day on the free tier
- Admin dashboard * Server-rendered HTML, no JavaScript required * Comment stats, pending queue, recent spam, top pages, latest activity * One-click approve, reject, or mark as spam
- Free * Runs on Cloudflare's free tier
- Works with any static site generator
