Stacosys
Stacosys (aka STAtic blog COmment SYStem) is a fork of Pecosys trying to fix Pecosys design drawbacks and to provide a basic alternative to comment hosting services like Disqus. Stacosys works with any static blog or even a simple HTML page.
Features overview
Stacosys main feature is comment management.
Here is the workflow:
- Readers submit comments via a comment form embedded in blog pages
- Blog administrator receives an e-mail notification from Stacosys when a comment is submitted
- Blog administrator can approve or drop the comment through a simple web admin interface
- Stacosys stores approved comment in its database.
Privacy concerns: only surname, gravatar id and comment itself are stored in DB. E-mail is optionally requested in submission form to resolve gravatar id but never sent to Stacosys.
Stacosys is more or less localized (english and french).
Technically speaking, how does it work?
Stacosys offers a REST API to retrieve and post comments. Static blog is HTML-based and a piece of JavaScript code interacts with Stacosys using HTTP requests. Each page has a unique id and a request allows retrieving comments for a given page. Similarly, a form request allows to post a comment which is relayed to the administrator by e-mail. For this purpose an SMTP configuration is needed.
Little FAQ
How do you block spammers?
- Current comment form is basic: no captcha support but protected by a honeypot.

Improvements
Stacosys fits my needs, and it manages comments on my blog for a while. I don't have any plan to make big changes, it's more a python playground for me. So I strongly encourage you to fork and enhance the project if you need additional features.
