What is it?

Coral is an open-source commenting platform built by the Coral team at Vox Media. It is designed to rethink how comment moderation, comment display, and conversation work on news and editorial sites, with the goal of enabling safer and more productive discussions around published work.

The project is a TypeScript and Node.js codebase organized as a mono-repo, with a React-based front end and a GraphQL API. It is distributed as a Docker image on Docker Hub, and the project's documentation covers running and developing it locally.

The project is licensed under Apache-2.0. The maintainers note that they offer paid support for setup, comment migration from other systems, registration platform integration, and custom installs.
