Comentario emerged as a continuation of the Commento project, forked to carry forward development with a renewed focus on modern web technologies and enhanced user experience. Built with Go for the backend and Angular for the frontend, Comentario represents a community-driven effort to maintain and evolve a self-hosted commenting platform.
Comentario was created when developers sought to continue the evolution of the Commento codebase with additional features and a redesigned interface. The project adopted Angular for its frontend, providing a more structured and maintainable codebase compared to the original JavaScript approach.
The choice of Go for the backend ensures high performance and efficient resource usage, while Angular provides a robust framework for building a modern, responsive admin interface. Comentario uses PostgreSQL as its database backend, offering reliability and scalability for comment storage.
Comentario continues to be maintained as an open-source project, offering an alternative for users seeking a self-hosted commenting solution with a modern technology stack and active development.
