On: Replacing Disqus with GitHub Comments

The author should consider https://staticman.net . This gets them comments as PRs and comments from the page.

I'm not affiliated with the site, I've just used them for comments on one static github hosted blog post.

That's a cool idea, I need to look into that. Up until now I used isso, but the non-static nature of Isso-comments always annoyed me.

Barely similar, and also helpful for static sites: an 3rd-party (and open source/self-hostable) option to password-protect (HTTP Basic Auth) files on S3:

http://www.s3auth.com/

I would be interested to hear about Google / Azure cloud alternatives.

Would be great if could have JavaScript which would perform the PR directly from user's browser to github instead of going through static man in the middle.
