# Blog with Comment

This project adds commenting functionality to [Next.js blog application](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/blog) using Upstash and Auth0.

The comment box requires Auth0 authentication for users to add new comments. A user can delete their own comment. Also admin user can delete any comment.

Comments are stored in Serverless Redis ([Upstash](http://upstash.com/)).

example:

```bash
