  • What Is a Vector Database

    The Coral Project [0] (commenting platform used on Washington Post, New York Times, The Verge) uses an Apache 2.0 license [1]. Which doesn't seem to have prevented it from raking in big SaaS customers.

    A lot of people worry about copy-cat services, but it's kind of rare that someone will be able to compete with you as the original in hosting your own service as well as you can. Especially when you consider support and maintenance requirements of a new product you aren't personally developing.

    I could see copy-cat services being more of an issue in the late stage of a product though? When everyone knows lots about how to stand it up and use it?

    The Coral Project was created inline with this initiative. They have lots of guides that provide some of the research that was conducted: https://coralproject.net/
  • Commento - A Self Hosted Comment System for Websites
    6 projects | /r/selfhosted | 14 May 2022
    For comment system, I choose Coral Project Talk because it could use Akismet and Google Perspective API for reducing spam and harassment. I also need to think about the remove comments when user delete their account (GDPR stuff). Coral Talk has the above functions in the UI.

    Another great API that could be self-hosted is Coral. It’s a commenting platform where users can leave online comments. It’s received contributions from over 40 people on Github. It has a good-first-issue tag and also offers a contribution guide.

    Yup! We do a Typescript/Node.js/GraphQL back-end with React/Relay/Typescript on the front end.

    It's pretty nice having the whole code base share types, syntax, structure, etc.

  • Show HN: I'm working on a open-source, self-host alternative to Disqus

  • I made a student publication @ university & discovered a deep hate for WordPress — so I made my dream publishing platform
    1 project | /r/publishing | 1 Apr 2021
    Our highest tier comment system is quite powerful, and is based off Coral Talk by Vox. For beginners like yourself, if we allowed users to integrate Disqus on all tiers, would that alleviate your concerns with using Storipress?
  • Caching data on Apollo server
    2 projects | /r/graphql | 1 Mar 2021
    If you need some inspiration, we added support for server caching of responses on Coral: https://github.com/coralproject/talk/blob/develop/src/core/server/app/middleware/graphql/apolloServer.ts#L85-L88
  • Disqus, the Dark Commenting System
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Feb 2021
    I've seen some examples in which people embed Discourse discussions.

    There's also Coral (https://github.com/coralproject/talk) which used to be Mozilla + Vox project before Mozilla handed it over to Vox completely, but I have no experience with it.
