So I was able to reserve the last two days to work on something new, and one thing that is currently rather lacking in the D/vibe.d web ecosystem is embedded commenting, be it for vibe.d's own blog engine [1]/[2] or for the DDOX based standard library documentation [3]. So I went ahead and created a little comment engine inspired by Disqus and Isso:

https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/diskuto (screenshot inside)
https://code.dlang.org/packages/diskuto

It has a similar tree based structure with user voting, doesn't require registration and a basic set of functionality works without JavaScript support.

Currently the only backend supported is MongoDB, but adding more is rather simple. Using NNTP as the target, as was discussed a few times in the past, is slightly tricky because editing and comment deletion needs to be supported. However, there is a limited time frame for those operations, so afterwards messages could be mirrored to a newsgroup safely (the other way around would of course always work).

Any comments suggestions and especially helping hands are highly appreciated!

Yeah, still tweaking a few things here and there. Very helpful to have people try out weird things ;) I'm just not sure how well that will work after someone posts this to Reddit.
