I haven't played around with it as much as I'd like, but I was investigating IndieWeb tech for doing webmentions and comments on my static site: https://indiewebify.me/

I'm running the comments currently using https://commento.io/. It's nicely small, basically unobtrusive, and isn't Disqus which I feel has privacy problems.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll check them out.

About the IndieWeb, yes I know about it, and I want to use it. Partly that's why my static site is based on Hylia (https://github.com/hankchizljaw/hylia), because it has Webmentions in its roadmap. Alas! Nobody ever implemented it, and now Hylia is archived!

I don't have the knowledge of JavaScript to implement webmentions in Hylia all by myself (I'm more of a PHP developer). I could still try, but it'd take quite some time, which I don't have (I'd rather employ it on my actual project)

Thanks for sharing how you are using commento.io! This looks pretty great. It would be even better if they had a free/starter plan to get more adoption.

The fact that the owner charges money is my favorite feature and, at least in my mind, makes it more likely it will still be around in a few years.

I think of it as the Pinboard model.
