Commenting

Allowing visitors to post comments to a site built with a static site generator such as Jekyll, Hugo, or Gatsby is often one of the first hurdles developers face. Fortunately, there is a growing ecosystem of tools available to add comments to your Jamstack site. Before we get into the list, it’s worth mentioning a few alternative approaches to commenting:

No comments — Having no comments on a blog is always an option. You won’t get community interaction but it’s by far the easiest to implement.
Manual comments — Have your audience email you questions or comments which you manual transfer to the site. If you’re only get sporadic comments it might be a good approach. Let’s get into the full list of commenting solutions:
