Comments and Reviews
load fast and lighweight
There are no obvious dependencies, but I always find PostgreSQL configuration annoying. If you're like me, you might want to consider an open source app called “glance” instead.
Not sure how easy it is to setup on shared hosting, but you can install it on your own server.
