Having come across numerous instances of people complaining about Disqus and some even willing to pay for an alternative, I realized that this could potentially be turned into a SaaS. You can see the commenting system in action here : &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ploggingdev.com&amp;#x2F;2017&amp;#x2F;08&amp;#x2F;building-a-disqus-alternative-part-1--research&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ploggingdev.com&amp;#x2F;2017&amp;#x2F;08&amp;#x2F;building-a-disqus-altern...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any feedback is welcome.&lt;p&gt;Edit : If you&amp;#x27;re interested, you can register and add comments to your website. Currently there are no limitations on user accounts and there is no payment processing built in to the signup flow, so no CC required.</text></comment>

If you don&amp;#x27;t want the ads go check the settings in the disqus control panel and all 3rd party requests disappear.&lt;p&gt;checking my own blogs using disqus I see no 3rd party requests at all with my ad blocks off</text></comment>
