Show HN: Hyvor Talk – A Better Way to Add Comments to Blogs

Hello HN!

I'm Supun from Hyvor Talk (https://talk.hyvor.com), a commenting platform for websites.

First, to be clear, Hyvor is the startup I'm building and Hyvor Talk is the first product of it.

Here's how it started. I'm a PHP dev and I did a blog a little while ago. When it came to adding comments I didn't like the options available there for three reasons.

1. Some were not privacy-focused. They collected a bunch of user's data and placed ads on users' sites. 2. Most of them were not modern-looking. 3. Most of them were expensive.

So, I created my own commenting system for my website with only comments and replies. After a few weeks, I thought it would be better if I could allow others to use this and solve the above 3 problems. So, in December 2019, I started working on this full time. Since then, I have developed many features (most of them are based on suggestions I got through our Discord server).

Here are some features/facts about it.

* It does not collect users' data. * It's fast because of no third party code, ads, etc. * It has a powerful AJAX-based moderation console. * It's completely free up to 40,000 page views per month. * It's fully customizable (colors, fonts, texts) - You can see some customized pages in our landing page. * I and my girlfriend (a graphic designer) worked hard to make the system as much as user-friendly and attractive.

At the moment, I'm happy to say, 20+ websites use this commenting system actively. More than 1000 users have signed up as commenters.

Thank you for checking this out! I'd love to hear your feedback.
