Building a Comment System in a Next.js Blog with BCMS

So, I recently set up a comment system in a Next.js app using BCMS, and I wrote about the whole process.

Why BCMS? It’s super flexible, has a clean API, and makes managing dynamic content (like user comments) way easier. No need to hack things together—it just works.

In the article, I break down:

  • How to structure comments in BCMS
  • Setting up an API route in Next.js to handle submissions
  • Displaying comments on the frontend

If you’ve ever wanted to add a simple comment system to your project, this might help. Check it out here on the BCMS blog site.

Forget Disqus and build your own comment system!

If my blog scales to thousands of comments per Crazy Cattle 3D post, how would I optimize the performance of comment retrieval and rendering within my current BCMS + Next.js setup?
