Isso
Introducing Isso: the featherweight champion in the commenting server arena, ready to knock out the heavyweight Disqus with its Python and JavaScript one-two punch! This nifty app transforms your website into a buzzing hub of user interaction without the heavyweight baggage. Fancy a comment section where anonymity is the name of the game? Isso's got you covered, keeping your users' secret identities safer than a superhero's. And for the literary geeks, comments in Markdown are as easy as pie – edit and delete at the speed of light (or at least within 15 minutes). Say goodbye to the Big Data snoops; Isso's SQLite backend keeps your comments cozy and private. Got a case of comment migration blues? Isso's smooth import features from Disqus and WordPress will have you grinning like a Cheshire cat. Embedding Isso is a walk in the park – just a single JavaScript file and voilà! Host it on RepoCloud, where the cost is as tiny as Isso's footprint, and you'll be the talk of the town (or at least the internet).
