Utterences is a free and open source comments system that uses GitHub issues as its backend. That’s right, Github issues! Quite clever use of that api and you don’t have to pay for a service like Disqus. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
I saw someone using the GitHub-based Utterances on their blog and thought it was pretty neat. I'm not sure who it was now, 'cos I can't find it. It was definitely someone in our Blog Guild - I thought it was Peter Makowski's blog but he doesn't seem to have it set up any more, so who knows. Anyway, Utterances looks neat. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

Super cool. Yeah sure the stars help boost popularity but I actually like the approach. Just like https://utteranc.es/ uses GH issues as a way to store data, I was thinking about how stars can be used as opt-in for things just the other day. Also do note that the "Contributions" section is misleading. Without looking deeply into it I'm quite sure it's only pulling contributions for the current calendar year - I... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

Two in particular which may appeal to the HN crowd are Utterances[0] and the more recent giscus, each of which uses GitHub services (GitHub Issues and GitHub Discussions, respectively). Assuming your commenters don't have a problem with having to log into GitHub to say something, either of these will work. I've also written in the past[2] about some... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
In this post I'll go through how I added comments to my blog using utterances, which uses GitHub issues to store the comments so it's really easy to setup. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
I wonder if utteranc.es will ever support other logins besides GitHub such as Twitter, Facebook and Google like Disqus. Because that would solve one of my issues with these plug-ins. However it's possible its' "locked" to that platform due to that fact that the comments are stored as GitHub issues... Source: about 3 years ago
