[Request] Standalone Comment System

[DRam]

Please read http://community.nodebb.org/topic/810 if you already haven't.

So I know there's already integration with Ghost and WordPress for comments that connect with NodeBB.

But I'm wondering if there is or would be a standalone project for NodeBB which, lets you put comment sections into plain HTML/CSS websites, or websites with PHP etc.

P.S I know NodeBB concentrates more on the community forum side, but I'm just saying it would make life a little easier, and more accessible.

Yup, definitely on my TODO list WP integration isn't even complete yet, but you can expect both standalone + WP to be released at the same time (~0.4x)

Awesome. Thanks for the answer bro.

When it becomes possible to use NodeBB as a commenting system for WP, is it going to be possible to import existing WP comments into the new commenting system?

[psychobunny]

We were looking into this for Disqus actually. One of those things that I can't tell you how easy it will be until I look into how WP comments look like

Probably would have to build something similar to what @bentael did with nodebb-plugin-import

I'm thinking that since WP comments are just plain text with a few URLs and bold and italicized text here and there, that it shouldn't be that much of an issue.
