I Built a 4 KB, Privacy-First Alternative to Disqus

Comment sections should help readers talk—not expose them to ads, trackers, and data collection.

That’s why I built CommentHub: a fast, privacy-first commenting platform that works on virtually any website.

Integration takes two lines:


html
<div id="comments"></div>
<script
  src="https://commenthub.io/embed.js"
  data-site-id="your-site">
</script>

The embed loader is only 4 KB and works with React, Next.js, Vue, WordPress, Astro, Hugo, Jekyll, and plain HTML.
CommentHub includes:
Real-time comments and threaded replies
Spam protection and moderation tools
Guest and authenticated commenting
Built-in analytics
Light, dark, and custom themes
No advertisements or third-party tracking
A free tier with 5,000 comments per month
I’d especially appreciate feedback from developers and publishers currently using Disqus or another hosted comment platform:
What would prevent you from switching?
Which integration should I improve first?
What moderation features do you consider essential?
