Utterences
A lightweight comments widget that uses GitHub issues for blog comments, wiki pages, and other websites.
What is Utterences?
Utterances is an open-source comments widget that integrates directly with GitHub issues, allowing website owners to add comment sections to blogs, wikis, and other static sites. It solves the problem of managing comments without a backend by using GitHub's infrastructure for storage and authentication.
Developers and content creators who run static websites, blogs, or documentation sites and want a lightweight, privacy-focused commenting system without maintaining a separate database.
Developers choose Utterances because it eliminates tracking and ads, keeps all data in their GitHub repository for full control, and requires no backend setup—making it a simple, transparent alternative to commercial comment platforms.
