What it does
You don't need a server to host your comment system, you can easily host Kucos on ZEIT NOW (now Vercel ) and database on Mongo Atlas where 500mb is for free (for comments it is a lot space :)). Kucos is focused on complete user privacy and data security, that' s why commenting is completely anonymous, no account is needed. Kucos is written entirely in JavaScript, backend in NodeJS with MongoDB (Mongoose) and frontend in pure JS. Source of Kucos can be found on GitHub, I invite you to test the demo on this page, also I'm happy to see pull requests with your fixes or new features :) A simple Markdown is also available, here you can check out the available Markdown.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
