Meerkat Comments

Meerkat brings modern, self-hosted conversations to Statamic.

Highlights

• Threaded comments and replies with configurable depth
• A native comments dashboard with search, filters, two layouts, and bulk moderation
• Approval, rejection, spam, deletion, restoration, and moderation history
• Built-in spam guards, Akismet support, rate limiting, and custom guards
• Custom comment fields through Statamic blueprints
• Antlers and Blade support for forms, threads, pagination, and replies
• Statamic permissions, roles, groups, and multisite support
• A public JSON API and authenticated moderation endpoints
• Optional comment revisions and GraphQL support with Statamic Pro
• An optional filesystem mirror for backups and recovery

Your frontend remains yours. Meerkat supplies the comment system and moderation tools without imposing a theme or hosted widget.
