I make this type of comment a lot, but what's up with naming nowadays? How is Schnack pronounced? How easy do you think it would be to tell somebody to try it out and how high are the chances that they'll misspell it and give up finding the site? I don't get it.

You realize there are parts of the world where English is not the main language?
What is your point?

It's German for 'chat'. Here is the translation including audio: https://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/schnack
I still think it's very hard to both spell and pronounce as a name for a product, though...

I assume it’s like snack, but with an initial sh sound. And I don’t think software projects with inscrutable names are a new thing. I still have no idea how to pronounce “PostgreSQL”, for instance.
I have always said Post-gres-Q-L which is probably wrong but it's too late to change now. I'm committed.

That's what worries me about every single website out there. Suddenly they consider users' comments "their own data"

Developer with The Coral Project here. Schnack seems to provide a simple solution to the "let us put some comments on the site" in a very simple and pleasantly small package. (Like seriously small, we're jealous of those numbers :)) Talk on the other hand provides a full admin panel for moderators, a robust plugin system for configuring every part of the experience. Admittedly, not every small blog is going to need a…
> supporting millions of users and tens of millions of comments That seems like an unusually low number of comments per user, best case 99:1.
"lack of control on our own data (the comments, in this case)" That's what worries me about every single website out there. Suddenly they consider users' comments "their own data"
Another thread on the front page right now is talking about how it's very difficult to get views on your blogs now. And I've felt the same. 5-10 years ago I used to get 2-3 digit views on my posts. And I used to use Wordpress / Blogger and the like. Then, when it became fashionable, I spent a lot of time (at least 20-30 hrs, and mind you this was not the geeky kind of work, it was like refactoring code using just gre…

It's German. I would bet it is more like shock, but with an N added.
(I can't readily verify that. I am in a library and all searches for the pronunciation lead me to audio files and I can't listen to them.)
