· 5 pulledI've always wanted to host a comment section on my site, but it's difficult because the content is statically generated and hosted on a CDN.
But maintaining a dynamic web service like this can be expensive and time-consuming — in general, I'm not interested in being an unpaid, part-time DevOps engineer.

I immediately understood the potential: I could use Bluesky as a comment backend for my blog!
The beauty of this approach is that I don't have to maintain any server infrastructure — Bluesky handles all the dynamic content.
