Disgus

Overview:

Disgus is a commenting system for blogs or websites that is based on the Nostr open protocol. Similar to Disqus, Disgus allows users to add a commenting feature to their website, but with additional features specific to the Nostr protocol. The system offers a demo for users to experience its functionality. To use Disgus, users need to have a Nostr pubkey and relay, as well as a NIP07-compatible browser plug-in for login.

Features:

• Nostr Protocol: Disgus is based on the Nostr open protocol, providing users with the benefits and features of this protocol.
• Grab Title & URL: The script automatically grabs the title and URL from the meta of the page where Disgus is installed, simplifying the commenting process.
• Author Pubkey and Relays: Users can define the author’s pubkey using the nostr:pubkey property and specify the relays as nostr:relay, allowing for easy customization of the commenting system.
• NIP-07 Login: Disgus offers NIP-07 integration for login, making it secure and convenient for users to authenticate and manage their comments.
• Guest Accounts: Users can post comments as a temporary guest account without NIP05 verification, allowing for quick and easy participation.
• Replies and Alerts: The system allows for threaded replies and alerts the author when they are tagged in the root post, facilitating engagement and communication.

1. Ensure you have a Nostr pubkey and relay.
