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

I made a post about 5 months ago showcasing this project, and by far the most requested feature was anonymous commenting. I’m happy to say I recently completed implementing this, and you can try out a demo on the website.

Features

• Anonymous commenting + passwordless user authentication via email
• Full markdown support
• Comment edits (with edit history)
• Admin moderation features, including a manual moderation queue, basic auto moderation, mass deletion and banning
• Comment reply notifications and admin notifications via email

If you’d like to quickly spin up an instance yourself, Docker and bare metal instructions are provided in the quick start guide; you should additionally be able to find fairly comprehensive documentation here.

If you like what you see, feel free to leave me a star on GitHub :)
