For a number of years, I was using Disqus to provide comments on my blog. However, I was increasingly unhappy with how bloated the solution was, how many additional entries I was having to put into my Content Security Policy, and unsure how comfortable I was with having a third party own comments to my own site.

So last year, I removed comments from my site entirely.

This worked fine, and I didn't really think about it much, until somebody reached out to me via email recently, with what was essentially a comment on a blog post, and I realized that nobody else but me was going to benefit from it.

So I started thinking about how to go about adding comments again.
