After seven months of development, the Comentario 3.0.0 project has been released, developing a free comment server for web pages, a fork from the now abandoned Comment server. Comentario allows you to quickly embed the ability to leave comments on your website or blog by adding a JavaScript file, commentario.js, which is about 20 KB in size, to the download page. It supports a tree-like organization of discussions, the use of the Markdown format, authentication through social networks, setting moderation rules, connecting external services to block violations, and management through the administrator interface. The server code of the project is written in Go, and the client code is written in JavaScript using the Angular framework. The project's developments are distributed under the MIT license. To evaluate the capabilities of the engine, a demo page is available, on which, among other things, you can test the admin panel.
Among the changes in the new version:
- The ability to define user roles has been implemented and a global superuser privilege has been added.
