Utterances is a lightweight, open-source comments widget for blogs and wikis that stores comments as GitHub issues. It embeds via a script tag, maps pages to issues via the GitHub search API, and authenticates commenters through the GitHub OAuth flow.
Use cases
- add comments to a static blog without a backend
- let readers comment using their GitHub accounts
- store site comments in GitHub issues for free
- add a discussion widget to documentation pages
- avoid running a comment server or database
When to choose
- your audience is developers comfortable with GitHub
- you host a static site and want zero-maintenance comments
- you want no tracking, no ads, and data you fully control in GitHub
When to avoid
- your readers are non-technical and unlikely to have GitHub accounts
- you need anonymous commenting
- you need rich moderation features beyond GitHub issue tools
