About Giscus

Giscus is a commenting system that uses GitHub Discussions as its backend, popular for blogs and documentation sites. Self-hosting it on a small server, NAS, or VPS keeps the service available on your terms and makes backups and migrations straightforward. It also plays well alongside other self-hosted tools, since open interfaces and standard protocols make integrations and automation much easier to build.
