I'm sure you have tried to find free comment services that support embeddable widgets for your websites. For example, this blog is built from static HTML files, so writing its own comments function would be too much overhead!
I have tried Disqus, but it isn't really free anymore. The ads on the free tier are too big and annoying, and this blog is too small, so it is not for me.
Utterances the savior
I randomly found Utterances while suffering on the internet. My first impression was: that's genius!
- Log in with GitHub to comment (you should have a GitHub account if you're a developer).
- Store comments on GitHub (using the Issues tab of the repository).
- Markdown and reactions supported.
- Totally free.
You cannot comment anonymously, but I think that's acceptable. So if you are writing a technical blog, I recommend giving Utterances a try. It is epic!
