Schnack is a tiny, self-hosted, open-source commenting system for static websites, serving as a Disqus-like drop-in widget. It offers OAuth login via third-party providers, a slick moderation UI, and webpush notifications for new comments.
Use cases
- add comments to a static blog without Disqus
- self-host a privacy-friendly, ad-free commenting system
- moderate comments with allow/reject and trust/block controls
- let visitors sign in with GitHub, Twitter, Google, or Facebook
- get notified via webpush or Slack when comments await moderation
When to choose
- you run a static site or blog and want lightweight (~8 KB) comments
- you want to avoid third-party ads and tracking on your site
- you prefer self-hosting and owning your comment data
- you want simple OAuth-based login without managing user accounts
When to avoid
- you need a fully hosted, zero-maintenance comment service
- you require rich features like threaded discussions, voting, or spam filtering at scale
- you don't want to run and maintain a Node.js server
- your site is dynamic and already has a built-in comment system
