QorumWhat Qorum does
A complete comment section, from the reader who writes to the owner who moderates. Everything works through the ready-made widget, the dashboard and the API.
Who commentsNobody needs yet another account if your site already has a login.
- Your site's login
- Your server signs a token with the secret key and the reader joins the comments with the account they already have.
- Qorum account
- For sites without a login: the reader creates a username and password right inside the widget. The same account works on any site that uses Qorum.
- Author card
- Name, photo and badges come from your site and show up on every comment, like "Staff", "Subscriber" or "Customer since 2021".
- Perks for supporters
- Unlock features for subscribers or customers, like pinning their own comment for 24 hours, straight from the API.
The conversationThe basics done right, plus a few details other systems are missing.
- Tidy replies
- Every reply sits under the main comment and shows who it answers. The conversation never turns into a staircase.
- Formatting and images
- Bold, italic, strikethrough, links, hidden text that shows on click and up to 4 images per comment.
- Notifications
- Whoever gets a reply sees it in the widget's bell and jumps straight to the comment.
- Link to a comment
- Every comment has its own address. Opening the link lands right on it, highlighted.
- Likes
- Like and dislike, with sorting by most liked. The dislike button can be turned off.
- Pinned comment
- Moderators pin to the top. If you allow it, readers can pin their own comment too.
ModerationFrom the dashboard, from the widget itself or through the API, whichever is easier.
- Approval before publishing
- For every comment, only for those with links, or turned off.
- Blocked words
- A comment with any word from the list goes to the queue instead of showing up.
- Reports
- Readers report with a reason. You delete the comment or dismiss the report in one click.
- Timed bans
- One day, one week, one month or forever. Banned people see until when.
- Locked conversation
- Close a page to new comments without deleting what has already been said.
- Moderators
- Add people from your team by username. They moderate in the dashboard and right inside the widget.
AppearanceMatches your site without you writing any CSS.
- Five templates
- Classic, Cards, Bubbles, Compact and Minimal. See them all working.
- Colors and corners
- Two colors, corner rounding and a light, dark or automatic theme.
- Isolated from the page
- Your site's styles don't break the widget, and the widget's styles don't touch your site. The font follows your page.
- Built for phones
- The templates adapt to small screens, including Compact, designed for sidebars.
IntegrationFor those who want more than pasting the widget.
- Public API
- Lists, comments, replies, likes and notifications in JSON, with the text already in safe HTML. See the API.
- Management API
- Everything the dashboard does, so you can moderate and configure from inside your own admin panel. See management.
- Webhooks
- Signed notices when someone comments, deletes or reports, with automatic retries if your server fails. See webhooks.
- Many sites, one account
- Register up to 20 sites, each with its own keys, rules and appearance.
MonitoringTo know what is going on and find problems fast.
- Usage meters
- Reads, comments, logins, delivered notices and refused requests, day by day, for up to a year.
- Connection test
- Checks the key, whether the domain is allowed, the login token and the webhook, telling you exactly what is wrong.
- Site numbers
- Total comments, last 7 and 30 days, active people, pending comments and open reports.
- Service status
- A simple page that says whether Qorum and its database are up.
