Can you elaborate why 3, a git-based comment system, is beneficial? When do comments need to be merged?

PS There is a small web sdk that enables comments on sited via github issues. see https://github.com/utterance/utterances

I've encountered https://github.com/utterance/utterances, which relies on github issues for providing a blog comments system of a sort.

Alternatively there's https://github.com/giscus/giscus, which instead uses github discussions.

Haven't used either so can't comment (heh) on their "performance".

Still another application: blog comments, as is done with Utterances.

Yep, commento is a great self-hosted alternative.

There's also Isso[1] and utterances[2] (Github issues based)

I would add utterances [0], even if its not self-hosted.

I think offline apps is a great idea too! I’ll look into some alternatives and add those as well.

I got the idea to use Github Issues from this repo:

https://github.com/utterance/utterances

They use Github issues for comments so I thought I’d give it a shot as a request form.
