Discourse as Comment System
Author: JOduMonTCreated Dec 9, 2023Updated Dec 21, 2025
Describe the solution you'd like
Lately I discovered that; theorically (I'm only an old Linux SysAdmin) it would be possible to use Discourse as a Comment System
Describe alternatives you've considered
to replace Discourse: I considered Disqus, Discord, Commento, ...
- but as I want to build a private community in long term they are not viable
- Only maybe NodeBB; but I did'nt found persistant developper on the subject
to replace NextJS; : I considered Hugo Ghost, Wordpress, GravCMS ...
- but I'm very tired of hosting a complete CMS for delivering static pages.
- with Notion it is very conveniant to post and manage content
- but this is also possible via AirTable and; less obvious, Obsidian
- with Notion it is very conveniant to post and manage content
- and Directus is too abstract for me and my users.
