Let’s face it — Framer is built for speed and visual storytelling, but it leaves out one crucial feature: comments.

As creators, especially in tech, feedback loops matter. You want to engage with your readers, clarify complex topics, and build community right under your blog posts. But Framer doesn’t support native commenting… yet.

So here’s a technical deep-dive into how to add a commenting layer to your Framer blog — using third-party tools.

🚧 Why Framer Doesn't Support Comments (Yet)

Framer is primarily a visual, no-code platform with a frontend-first mindset. It prioritizes speed and design, not backend features like commenting, user auth, or databases. That’s intentional — but it means creators have to look outside for community features like:

• Comments

• Likes

• Subscriptions

• Authenticated interactions

If you want comments, you’ll need to embed a third-party tool manually.

🔧 Best Commenting Tools for Framer (Technical Setup)

Here are two tools that tech-savvy users can consider integrating directly into Framer pages:

1. Cusdis (Free & Open Source)

• GDPR-compliant, privacy-first

• Lightweight (~5KB), no bloat

• Easily embeddable using script tag

• Works via iframe-like injection

• Styled with CSS overrides

👉 How to install:
Add this to your blog post page (in the custom code section):

htmlCopyEdit<div id="cusdis_thread"
  data-host="https://cusdis.com"
  data-app-id="YOUR_APP_ID"
  data-page-id="{{ PAGE_ID }}"
  data-page-url="{{ PAGE_URL }}"
  data-page-title="{{ PAGE_TITLE }}">
</div>
<script async defer src="https://cusdis.com/js/cusdis.es.js"></script>

🔧 Optional: Use custom CSS to remove scrollbars and match Framer's aesthetic.

2. Giscus (GitHub-Powered Discussions)

• Based on GitHub Issues

• Free and open-source

• Great for dev-focused blogs

• Needs GitHub repo + auth

• Works best for an audience familiar with GitHub

💰 Premium Pick: Hyvor Talk (Paid but Polished)

I tested Hyvor Talk — and it’s hands-down the smoothest if you're ready to pay.

✅ Clean UI, fully customizable
✅ Privacy-first (GDPR compliant)
✅ Works beautifully on any static site, including Framer
❌ Costs ~$12/month (too steep for early-stage creators)

Verdict: Great for scaling sites. Not needed in the early days.

🧠 My Final Take

I tested both Cusdis and Hyvor Talk, and while they work well, I’ve decided not to add comments to my blog — at least for now.

Why?

• I’d rather focus on building traffic and engagement first

• Comment systems add code weight and moderation needs

• Most engagement today happens off-site — via social or email

But I’ll revisit this when the blog matures.

✅ TL;DR for Technical Creators

• Want free + flexible? Start with Cusdis.

• Need GitHub-native? Use Giscus.

• Want polished + powerful? Pay for Hyvor Talk.

• Not sure yet? Skip comments and revisit later.
