nocomment

A Nostr-powered embeddable website comments widget that just works.

Usage as an embeddable script

Anywhere in your website you want to see the comment box, include

<script src="https://nocomment.fiatjaf.com/embed.js" id="nocomment"></script>

You can pass special attributes to that <script> tag, such as

  • data-relays='["wss://my.custom.relay", "..."]', a JSON list of relay URLs to use instead of the default ones.
  • data-custom-base="reference", an optional event id in hex, note1 or nevent1 format, or a naddr reference to a nip33 entity. This will prevent the creation of generic base events.
  • data-skip="/", an optional path of your website to skip rendering the widgets in. The default is "/".
  • data-owner="reference", an optional string with the post owner's public key in hex, npub1 or nprofile1 format.
  • data-placeholder="reference", an optional string with the placeholder for the textarea
  • data-readonly="true", an optional boolean to turn off new comments

--nc-background: #003049;
--nc-container-font-family: arial;
--nc-container-font-size: 1.2em;

      <NoComment relays={[
