Isso is a lightweight commenting server designed as an alternative to Disqus. It allows you to embed a commenting system on your website with ease, providing a seamless experience for both administrators and users.

  • Markdown Support: Comments can be written in Markdown, offering a flexible and rich text formatting experience.
  • User Control: Users can edit or delete their own comments within a 15-minute window by default.
  • Moderation Queue: Comments in the moderation queue are not publicly visible until approved, ensuring quality control.
  • SQLite Backend: Uses SQLite, making it lightweight and easy to manage without the need for complex database setups.
  • Disqus & WordPress Import: Easily migrate your existing comments from Disqus or WordPress without any hassle.
  • Configurable JS Client: Embed a single JavaScript file (65kB, or 20kB gzipped) to get started. Supports major browsers like Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Edge.

Isso is a robust, user-friendly commenting server that offers essential features without the bloat, making it an excellent choice for those looking to move away from Disqus.
