valeriansaliou/bandurria repository overview

Bandurria is a self-hosted lightweight comment system for static websites and blogs. Built in Rust, takes a few MB of RAM. Can be included with a single line of JavaScript.

This project has been started after I used another similar comment system on my personal blog⁠, named Schnack⁠, that requires users to authenticate through OAuth (eg. via Google) before they can send their comment. I have noticed that requiring to OAuth to a Google or GitHub account to send a comment on a random blog (where user trust is possibly low), might discourage a lot of people from commenting. Bandurria comes as a lighter and even simpler alternative to Schnack (without the memory overhead of NodeJS and installing NPM dependencies).
