Gitment is a client-side comment system that stores comments as GitHub Issues in a repository you own, embeddable in any website with no server-side component. It provides GitHub OAuth login, Markdown/GFM rendering, syntax highlighting, and GitHub notifications through a simple JavaScript widget.
Use cases
- add comments to a static blog without running a backend
- find a Disqus alternative powered by GitHub Issues
- let readers comment on my site with their GitHub accounts
- embed a comment widget on a Hexo or Jekyll blog
- serverless comments for a static website
- store site comments in a GitHub repository
When to choose
- your site is static or serverless and you want comments with zero backend infrastructure
- your audience is developers comfortable logging in with GitHub
- you want Markdown support, syntax highlighting, and GitHub notifications for comments out of the box
- you want full control over comment data since it lives in your own repository
When to avoid
- you need to allow commenters without GitHub accounts
- you need actively maintained software with security fixes — the project has had no releases since 2021 and its README documents a client-secret exposure concern
- you need moderation tools or spam filtering beyond what GitHub Issues provides
- your site's audience is non-technical and GitHub login would be a barrier
