I like all the XSS attack tests in the demo.

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.

Have you checked out Commento? It's open source and pretty lightweight: https://commento.io/

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

That said, it uses akismet for spam control, which I'm not sure how trustworthy it is... But definitely better than nothing!

so where's the data getting stored? in a database you are hosting?

Or one you're hosting. You can self host the server, as explained in OP's comment on this thread.

Except it redirects from OPs server. Meaning they capture your data.

It's a nice idea, not a fan of the name if i'm being honest. Although I know that names are hard.

My 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…
