Hi Everyone! I'm the maker of CommentBox.io. Many of us who have built blogs in the past have at least considered Disqus or Facebook Comments as their commenting system. Their ubiquity is unquestioned, and the free price can't be beat. But we're giving up trillions of data-points about us in return, strengthening their data-mining, ad-serving machines.

What if providing a great hosted commenting platform was the only goal, and didn't come with strings attached? I built CommentBox.io because I wanted to give users an alternative, and I hope you like it!
