Switching to Giscus

So since last year I have been using utterances to add comments to my BLOG. After reading this post from Max Brenner, I decided to switch to giscus.

Giscus is a comments system powered by GitHub Discussions. It lets visitors leave comments and reactions on your website via GitHub!

I agree with the comments from Mr. Brenner:

  • Post reactions
    While utterances allows to add reactions to comments, giscus also adds reactions to the post itself.
  • Lack of maintenance
    Apparently, utterances hasn't been updated in three years and has a long issue list which is not really being worked upon.
