Free comment widget for websites and blogs

Finding a platform for commenting on websites that are free other than WordPress is not that easy. Some have problems with privacy, some have paid hosting, some have difficult installations.

I finally found the thing called utterances. Utterances is a comment widget that can be placed anywhere that supports scripts using the GitHub platform.

The advantage

Here are some of the advantages of using utterances.

• Open source
• Privacy is safe because there is no tracking, no ads, and it’s always free.
• The data is safe because all the data is stored on GitHub.
• Light or dark theme can be used depending on the website setting.
• Light

How to install

1. Create a new repo on GitHub and set the view to “public”.
2. Install the utterances app in that repo.
3. If you’re using an old repo and it’s a fork, go to the settings tab and make sure the issues feature is on
4. Open utterances and enter the repo address (owner/repo)

5. Then select the desired setting for naming the issue. This makes it easier for us to see comments per web page.
