Comment sections got worse. We think they can be good again.
For years the choice was the same: run your own comments and fight spam alone, or embed a free widget that loads an iframe, follows your readers around the web and fills the space under your posts with ads. Most sites gave up and switched comments off.
Disfora is the third option. It renders in your page like the rest of your site. It's paid for by the people who run sites, so it has no reason to track or advertise to their readers. And readers get one account that works everywhere Disfora runs, so leaving a comment doesn't start with a sign-up form.
What we hold ourselves to.
- It belongs on your page
- No iframe. The widget renders in your DOM, takes your fonts and layout, and can be themed to match.
- Readers aren't the product
- No ads, no third-party trackers, nothing sold. Readers can delete their account and comments whenever they like.
- Your domain, your cookies
- Point comments.yoursite.com at us and sign-in runs on first-party cookies, so it keeps working in Safari.
- Your data goes where you need it
- Signed webhooks for every comment, rating and form event, so it lands in Slack, your CRM or your own code.
