Request for comments RFC

The move to switch the blog to a custom static web page generator was great. However in that process I lost the comments feature. I realised that this is a mayor issues, because I'm loosing out on potential feedback. Sure comments may come with moderation issues, but I doubt that this is going to be a real concern, given the small amount of traffic.

What to use for comments then?

I recently came across utterances which uses GitHub issues as its back-end to store comments.

I see a few really cool features:

  1. All my posts are usually technical in nature so requiring people to log in via GitHub to leave a comment shouldn't be a major barrier.
    1. Since every comment will create an GitHub issue, I can leverage their notification system to see and respond to the feedback people leave.

So please leave a comment or just a :thumbs_up: :).
