What does HackerNews think of talk?
A better commenting experience from Vox Media

I agree that Relay CAN be simple, but it isn't for what we do. Have a look at this ReplyListContainer and its nested Relay logic. I didn't originally write this, but I can see what they were trying to do and how Relay made it difficult for them. Your thoughts are welcome, I won't judge you for being critical of our code and welcome any other Relay dev's opinions.

Typescript/Node.js/GraphQL back-end with React/Relay/Typescript on the front end.

It's pretty nice having the whole code base share types, syntax, structure, etc. It's served us well for many years!
Some of our clients include: The Washington Post, New York Times, Wired, USA Today, and Financial Times
See https://docs.coralproject.net/coral/v5/integrating/cms/ to get an idea of it's use.
There's also Coral (https://github.com/coralproject/talk) which used to be Mozilla + Vox project before Mozilla handed it over to Vox completely, but I have no experience with it.
Talk is part of The Coral Project from Mozilla. It's an open source commenting tool now in use on The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, The Intercept, and many others.
We also conduct research about online communities, as well as publishing strategy guides and trainings. https://coralproject.net/research.html

What tech stack does your website use? Can I ask what do you write about? Maybe a link?
Anyway, the commeting system I'm developing, has some unique ideas — look here: https://www.effectivediscussions.org/-32/how-hacker-news-can.... However, I haven't ported all that to embedded-comments yet.
It's open source for installation on your own server (https://github.com/debiki/ed-server) — or $2/month hosting if you don't want to install things yourself. Currently there are no installation instructions ... but I'm actually planning to deploy a new server version later today, with installation instructions.
