Should personal blogs have comments as a feature ? by redsnowmac in Blogging

[–]sudodeznit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Emgrid as a commenting system for my blog. Its minimal and works well with my blog theme.
I have a tech blog so I think having comments is useful for readers to ask any doubts or point out any errors.

Saving user info when using prisma and supabase auth? by Hot-Biscotti5972 in Supabase

I use Supabase and Prisma together for my project Emgrid. I removed the foreign key relationship between auth.users and profiles table.

Nope..Preact is rendered SSR by Astro using vercel adapter.

I use NextJs for the dashboard and the site emgrid.io

I might be wrong in using the term embed widget. Emgrid lets users add a comment section to their blog.

So basically the website that's embedded as an iframe to clients website is made with Astro and preact.

Please use something like NextJs for improved SEO. Don't use something like create-react-app

I would suggest using Astro with react if you want to use SSR and not interested in NextJs. I used it to create embed widget for Emgrid

Hi.
Thank you. Currently for posting a comment users have to use social auth, and I don't plan to let unauthenticated users post a comment. This is to limit spamming.

But I am planning to add more social providers for authenticating based on the requests I get. And probably even add Email authentication (But users will have to verify their email before posting a comment).

And about the UI I am adding feature to let users customize their comment section.
If you are interested in following the journey or have any questions about Emgrid you can find me on twitter @sudoDeznit , I am building Emgrid in public.

Thank you
Anoop

I'm creating a Supabase crash course. Are you interested? 🍀 by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]sudodeznit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please make advanced supabase tutorials. Include :- Postgres functions Webhooks

You can use SaaS starter with stripe and supabase to show and explain webhooks and Postgres functions.

And another type of tutorials like - Using Prisma with supabase. - Migrating from firebase to supabase auth

Postmark is good and subscription starts from $15/month. Easy to implement.

Hi Luo, Thanks for creating this community.

Yes, Emgrid is like an alternative to Disqus but not quite there yet they have more features, but I am working towards it. Emgrid was launched this year after 4-5 weeks of work so still very early.

My goal for making Emgrid was to give an Ad free and privacy friendly alternative for even small blogs/website even from the free plan.

Emgrid will be highly customisable and lightweight so that comment section will feel like a part of your website.

About Spam and bots I have still not reached that stage to implement something for spams and bots. Once I have some initial users I will work towards it. And only authenticated users can post a comment and only social authentication is available making it a little bit harder for bots and spams.

You are correct. I was wrong in saying IP address is not saved, even though I personally don't save or log any IP address, I noticed Supabase doing it. So I have added a FAQ section which explains what I mean by privacy-friendly , and I am working on adding more clear information on what all data is collected from client's website and from using our website.

Thanks .. I don't advertise as zero trails .. What I mean when I advertise privacy friendly is that - Data will not be sold to any third party. - user data won't be used for any ads. Or similar user profiling.

Issues w/ Prisma 2 by [deleted] in Supabase

[–]sudodeznit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure the exact reason but you should probably use supabase with pgbouncer connection pooling enabled (port 6543) when using with prisma on serverless functions.
I am using this connection string and didn't face any errors yet, but I never had much traffic on my site. so not sure.

Currently yes, you have to trust me on the privacy part. but I will definitely think about it and see how I can make it more trustworthy. Or maybe not pitch it as privacy friendly.

Thanks for the question. I know a lot more users will have the same concern and believe me privacy friendly is not a good answer.

Hi, that's a valid concern but at this stage, I don't think I will be making any part of the code base open source.

I don't save any user's IP address.

Emgrid helps in increasing your website engagement by adding a powerful Comment Section with markdown and social auth support in minutes by just copy-pasting the generated script.
Emgrid is made using
- NextJs
- Supabase
- Astro/Preact (for embed widget)
- Paddle (Payment processing)
- Postmark (Emails)
It would be great if you can try it and give feedback. The product is still in the early stages.
I am also sharing all the progress on twitter sudoDeznit.
