RemarkRadar lets you embed a comments section on your website with ease — complete with moderation through an admin panel.
Yes, it really is that simple.
This was inspired by Lee Robinson's NextJS course, which was published in 2020
🔍 Tip: Visit the demo to check the comments on the site itself
(see the Deployed Version section below).
This project was built with:
- ⚛️ Next.js (Page Router)
- ⚡ Chakra UI for the UI components
- 🔐 Firebase for authentication and data storage
- 💳 Stripe for subscriptions (3 tiers)
In short, this is a toy SaaS project that provides an embeddable comments system for any website.
This app was created a long time ago, when I had far less experience with JavaScript and web development. As a result, there are known issues and design decisions I would not make today.
- Use vanilla JavaScript for the embed script
- Pick a lightweight backend
- Prefer Vue.js for the frontend if a framework is needed
- Avoid Next.js, which is likely overkill for this use case 🙂
Warning
Some paid GCP services used by Firebase have been cancelled.
As a result, the demo may not be fully functional and may contain bugs.
