I made basically the opposite; integrate HN comments into your website: https://comments.network/
You can add this HN conversation on the bottom of your landing page easily to show what people is saying about your project in context. Still in development though.

Details on the tech stack: We are using React and friends for the front end and Programmable Chat by Twilio on the BE (https://www.twilio.com/chat)
Happy to go further into details on any of that if interested. We are considering open sourcing the entire project, is that something people would be interested in?

Will there be stickers? An SDK for apps to run inside your chat? Social graph widgets to invite my friends to chat? A pair of glasses that I can use for hands free HN chat? An Alexa skill for chat? :-P
All kidding aside congrats on your launch!
Look forward to your blog posts (and maybe source) with more detail as this has been a topic of interest for me off and on over recent years.
Main features we think you'll like: - frictionless signup. You don't need to manage another login combo. Works kind of like Medium's signup, but with less steps - simple. Button next to comments, easy lookup. We wanted you to not have to think about it to use it - backwords compatible. It works with people that haven't signed up yet
