Does anyone have any recommendations for comment systems on Ghost? It looks like they themselves are using Disqus and Jeff Atwood is using Discourse (obviously) are there any other contenders?

I saw this one tweeted out yesterday by one of the Ghost devs. Integrated commenting similar to what Medium does. http://ouija.io/

I was confronted with this problem myself and decided to code up a jquery plugin that would let me add comments using firebase, so I wouldn't have to rely on a third party commenting system.

It's really basic right now, but I'm planning to extend it's functionality in the future significantly.

You can check it out here: https://github.com/ximi/jquery-firecomments

I'm using NodeBB -- https://nodebb.org/

I wanted something I could host myself, which rules out Disqus and LiveFyre. And while Discourse lets you show the comments on the blog page, people have to go to the forum page if they want to comment.

Some people like Livefyre, which can add some more real-time abilities if you happen to have a large user base.
