Getting Started with Quipthread Cloud

Quipthread Cloud is the managed version of Quipthread. You get a fully hosted backend — no server to run, no binary to build.

1. Sign up

Go to quipthread.com/signup. The Hobby plan is free and requires no credit card.

2. Create your first site

After signing in you’ll be taken through the onboarding wizard. Enter a name and the URL of your website, then click Create site. You’ll receive a Site ID — keep this, you need it for the embed snippet.

3. Add the embed snippet

Copy the snippet from the dashboard (Sites tab) and paste it into any page where you want comments. Place the <div> where the widget should appear, then add the <script> tag:

<div
  id="comments"
  data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  data-page-id="YOUR_PAGE_ID"
></div>
<script
  src="https://YOUR_CLOUD_DOMAIN/embed.js"
  async
></script>

Replace YOUR_SITE_ID with the ID from the dashboard, and set data-page-id to a unique string per page (e.g. the post slug or URL path). The script tag src points to your Quipthread Cloud instance.

4. Moderate comments

Comments from new users land in the moderation queue. Open the Moderation tab in the dashboard to approve, reject, or reply.

Note

To upgrade your plan, open the Billing tab in the dashboard.
