This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
OpenRemark is a free, privacy-first, self-hosted comment system for static websites. It embeds into Astro, Hugo, Next.js, or any HTML site with two lines of code. You keep complete ownership and control your data.
You build a fast, clean static site using Astro, Hugo, or Next.js. Everything is secure and highly optimized. Then a client or reader asks for a comment section.
Suddenly you face a wall of bad choices. Third-party scripts bloat your page, track your readers, and inject ads. Premium SaaS tools cost too much for simple text. Developer-focused workarounds look completely broken to non-developers. You are forced to choose between user privacy, high monthly costs, or terrible user experience. Without a good alternative, you just skip comments entirely.
We hit this exact wall constantly at Zeon Studio. We wanted a lightweight, self-hosted option that respected privacy. So we built OpenRemark.
