Re: Show HN: Comntr – a widget that adds comments to your page
#2My first post about the web extension idea got some interest (and almost 150 stars on github!), so I've made the next logical step: an that renders the comntr.github.io page and effectively adds comments to your page. The spam problem is partially addressed by the filters: the iframe.src can have a special ?filter=[...] param that can hide some of the comments you don't like. Although it's unlikely one can bypass the security model around those filters (but you are welcome to try!), advanced spammers can still post a lot of garbage to those comments as they can easily generate new ed25519 keys.

#3Also, it's already possible to have your own comntr server: you just need to git clone the comntr/http-server repo, npm install & npm start it, and tell the iframe to use your server with ?srv=https://foobar.com:42751. This would be an "on-prem" solution.

#4The hard problem in this space is spam prevention. Its not immediately clear me to if this even addresses it? Other than giving ban/filter controls to a human.

Curious about this too. I don’t like using Disqus (it’s so bloated) but the spam issue is pretty much non-existent even on several high-traffic sites.
