Gregory's Server@svetlyak40wt After some consideration, the one feature that’s missing from all other SSGs is a commenting system that doesn’t require JavaScript in the front-end. Are there plans for … CLomments or something? (Something one could HTML POST to and trigger a site rebuild.)

@svetlyak40wt I would not want my readers to register with GitHub just to comment on my site, and Staticman (which comes close to what I want to achieve, at least) is rather complex and feels unnatural in a Lisp environment. @tux0r but readers have to login somehow before they will be able to comment, right? Which way of authentication do you think is acceptable? @svetlyak40wt No, they don’t. Not on my website, at least. I want to encourage interaction, that won’t work well if I erect an entry barrier. I can see why some sites would like to have authentication for their commenters though. Wouldn’t an e-mail address be enough? @tux0r Agree, email should be ok. However I'd not allow anonymous comments on my site. |
@tux0r I've seen some commenting systems based on GitHub issues. Probably they could be integrated.
But any commenting system which provides triggers and API can be used for what your are suggesting.
Actually, I already have a prototype of comments microservice for one of my sideprojects. Probably, I'll made a SaaS service from it some day.
