I too grew frustrated with Disqus. When I started blogging again this year, I realized there were no good hosted alternatives, so I built my own: https://commentbox.io
I’d love for you guys to check it out and see how it compares to those already mentioned.
I have moved your post to a new topic.
The other thread has been going on for years. It’s huge. And it’s time for it to rest in peace.
First time creating a website with Hugo and would love to try out your commenting system.
How do I get started? I was a little confused on where to start adding the code you listed in the installation doc.
Thanks!
