Overview

Welcome to the Isso's documentation. This documentation will help you get
|
|
started fast. If you get any problems when using Isso, you can find the answer
|
|
in troubleshooting or you can ask me on IRC or GitHub.

|
What's Isso?
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Isso is a lightweight commenting server similar to Disqus. It allows anonymous
|
|
comments, maintains identity and is simple to administrate. It uses JavaScript
|
|
and cross-origin ressource sharing for easy integration into static websites.
|
|
|
|
No, I meant "Isso"
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Isso is an informal, german abbreviation for "Ich schrei sonst!", which can
|
|
roughly be translated to "I'm yelling otherwise". It usually ends the
|
|
discussion without any further arguments.
|
|
|
|
In germany, Isso `is also pokémon N° 360`__.

What's wrong with Disqus?
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
No anonymous comments (IP address, email and name recorded), hosted in the USA,
|
|
third-party. Just like IntenseDebate, livefrye etc. When you embed Disqus, they
|
|
can do anything with your readers (and probably mine Bitcoins, see the loading
|
|
times).
|
|
|
|
Isso is not the first open-source commenting server:
|
|
|
|
* `talkatv <https://github.com/talkatv/talkatv>`_, written in Python.
|
|
Unfortunately, talkatv's (read "talkative") development stalled. Neither
|
|
anonymous nor threaded comments.
|
|
|
|
* `Juvia <https://github.com/phusion/juvia>`_, written in Ruby (on Rails).
|
|
No threaded comments, nice administration webinterface, but... yeah... Ruby.
|
|
|
|
* `Tildehash.com <http://www.tildehash.com/?article=why-im-reinventing-disqus>`_,
|
|
written in PHP. Did I forgot something?
|
|
|
|
* `Unobtrusive, self-hosted comments <http://stackoverflow.com/q/2053217>`_,
|
|
discussion on StackOverflow.
