Confab Comments is a drop-in commenting solution for small scale sites such as blogs.

Features:

Passwordless user authentication via Email
Full markdown support
Comment edits (with edit history)
Comment reply notifications
Admin moderation features, including a manual moderation queue, basic auto moderation, mass deletion and banning

See the website for a demo, and see the quick start docs if you’re interested in quickly setting up an instance yourself (Docker and bare metal install instructions provided).

Source code is available on GitHub, and is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

I created this project to implement comments on my own blog. This is the first project I’ve publicly released, so any feedback/contributions are welcome. If you like what you see, feel free to leave me a star on GitHub :)

Of course, RSS is the way. I mean, emails are good, but they were meant for 2 way communication. When you want to have a 1 way communication channel, RSS is always preferred, IMHO.

Even 1 RSS feed for all comments (in any location) is better than no RSS fees at all.

I will put that on my to-do list, thanks for the suggestion.
