At the time of launch, Laravel Comments' main features include:

A beautiful Livewire component to display comments
markdown submission is supported, we'll render it as html
code snippets that appear in comments will automatically be highlighted
users can react to comments (👍, ❤️, or any emoji you want)
optionally, you enable a comment approval flow
sane API for creating your own commenting UI
Livewire components out of the box

At the core of this package is the HasComments trait you'll add to models:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Spatie\Comments\Models\Concerns\HasComments;
 
class Post extends Model
{
    use HasComments;
}

Which then enables you to manage comments and reactions on a model:

$post->comment("I've got a feeling");
 
$comment->react('😍');

While the above is a barebones example, the package also comes with a fully baked Laravel Livewire component, which also supports one level of nested comments:
