Adding comments to your website shouldn’t require building a comment system from scratch. cmmnts gives you everything you need for discussions—threads, moderation, login, anonymous comments, Markdown, mentions, emoji, and GIFs. Drop it into your site and start collecting comments.
If I'm on a basic static site, is it really just adding a snippet?

How do you handle spam once a site starts getting a decent amount of traffic?

@grace_gui02 Currently, we have a basic spam filtering mechanism in place. Admins can manually filter and moderate comments through the dashboard. Additionally, if a comment receives five or more reports, it is automatically flagged and removed from public visibility.

Handy for those maintaining blogs and websites. I also like that it has games 😄

Good for demonstrating the most honest social proof. :)

loved this Sanjeeb! Wish you all the best here
Docs is the right wedge and also the hardest one. A comment answering a question about the old API sits under the new page forever and reads more authoritative than the docs above it, so the thread quietly turns into misinformation. If a comment can be pinned to the version of the page it was written against, and greyed out when that section changes, that's the bit I'd pay for. Everything else on the list is a widget, that one is a product.

@ksanjeeb The cheap version is worth shipping before the real one. Don't version anything, just collapse every comment written before the page last changed behind a one line notice and let people expand it. That's a timestamp comparison, not a schema, and it kills most of the misinformation problem in an afternoon.
@ksanjeeb The cheap version is a hash. Store a hash of the section the widget sits under alongside each comment, and when it stops matching you don't delete anything, you just show a line saying the page changed after this was written. That's an afternoon of work and it covers most of the damage. The genuinely hard part is deciding how much of the page counts as the section, because too wide and every edit greys out the whole thread.

saw the reply above about using system fingerprinting under the hood for anonymous comments plus mentions. that's a reasonable technical answer to the moderation problem, but is it disclosed anywhere to the person leaving the anonymous comment, or only visible to the site owner in the dashboard? "anonymous" implies no tracking to most people, and fingerprinting quietly running in the background feels like it could surprise users if it ever came up.
