Comments out-of-the-box

Juvia is an open source commenting system. It allows you to outsource your commenting needs to an external system so that you don't have to build your own commenting system for each website or each web app.

Juvia is similar to Disqus and IntenseDebate. Trying to integrate existing commenting solutions in an AJAX web application is frustrating. Juvia offers full support for AJAX web pages. Juvia's source does not conflict with your page's existing JavaScripts.

Features

  • Moderation support, either manually or automatically via Akismet.
  • Multi-user support for Juvia admin panel operators.
  • Email notification of new comments.
  • WordPress comment import.

Juvia deliberately does not support nested comments typical for extremely active discussion forums. Instead, Juvia strives for simplicity.
