If your blog has a comments section, that&amp;#x27;s great, but what about all the other platforms that people discuss things on? (Twitter and Reddit [and of course HN!] come to mind.)&lt;p&gt;I would love to see a comments system that provided insight into commentary occurring across the web. Is there a good reason why online discourse is still fragmented?</text></comment>

Also, things like spam control are now back on you.&lt;p&gt;So why not just use a CMS or blog engine which supports traditional server-side comments? I suppose there is a case if you&amp;#x27;re hosting static HTML pages but still want them to be commentable, but how many people are doing that? I don&amp;#x27;t get the use case for this.</text></comment>
