Website not working, status of the project

[astrojuanlu]

I arrived here through this issue isso-comments/isso#205 looking for an Isso alternative that I could deploy on a PaaS, but the website doesn't work. This is in fact all I could find:

May I ask whether the project is still maintained?

The demo site is gone for now. I did not have the money for the hosting.

I lost some interest in the project because I cannot personally recommend using JavaScript in the browser where the code authenticity and integrity cannot be verified. Browsers remain highly vulnerable to malicious JavaScript, and someone who can modify the content on the server or in-transit can leverage remote exploits against your site users. Content integrity is unfortunately still impossible in browsers - TLS only guarantees the connection, not the content (and weakly at that, given the broken state of the Internet TLS PKI). There is simply no mechanism that allows the browser to verify the content you receive was actually authored by the entity you think it was. At the end of the day, running JavaScript in the browser means you are executing code from unknown entities in a virtual machine with a long and continuing history of exploits.

That said, I am happy to continue maintaining the project on an as-needed basis if someone can sponsor a few hours of work (BTC, Ethereum, Monero). Any small amount is welcome.

A PaaS deploy should be straightforward. What are your other requirements? Feel free to send me an email with the details.
