Are there any #blog comment systems that work with a static blog generator like #Pelican and allow Mastodon/Pleroma users to authenticate against their home instances (via Oauth)?

I am seeing #Schnack (https://schnack.cool/) in this space, but it is hard to tell how baked it is.

Schnack - simple self-hosted comment system for static websites

I also don't know #NodeJS at all and am a mere dabbler in JavaScript, but #Schnack is simple enough and laid out in such a way that seems to work for my Python/Django-trained brain. The one twist is that the client-side code has to be built after changes, which took some time to figure out.

As part of the process, I'll try adding docs to the fork about modifying it; so many #FOSS projects lack even a basic explanation of how to make changes to the code.
