guestbooks

[tozka]

I've accidentally collected more than a couple of links for guestbooks options for personal sites, so I thought I'd better share them. I'm focusing on free AND ad-free options.

Atabook, from the folks who run Nekoweb. This is the one I use, and while it doesn't come with an embed option you can stick it on your site with an iframe.

guestbooks from meadow.cafe is a similar service, but it comes with an option to directly embed the guestbook on your website either with iframes or Javascript.

Kalechips' guestbook runs on PHP and stores entries in a CSV file.

Groundedwren's Guestbook runs with Javascript, Discord and Google Sheets.

You can set up Webmentions to go to a guestbook page, as seen here.

For people with more time and/or a specific aesthetic, Eva made this amazing notecard guestbook page. Here's another similar type, though I'm not sure how it was made.

I've also seen people create a Guestbook post on their Dreamwidth journal, and invite comments there. :D

Can recommend Atabook, i've been doing iframe tricks and it works great
