I built Pop for my personal website. Wanted reactions without third-party scripts tracking my visitors.
It's simple: one script tag, SQLite storage, a few API endpoints. No accounts, no cloud, no subscription.
I wrote the backend in PHP 8.4 with Symfony 8, the frontend in TypeScript. About 3KB minified. CSS is optional, use mine or write your own.
