@Haxk20 yes JS.
-
@Haxk20 JS. Yes, I know that the key will be visible to the public and that's one reason why I think this is a mess.
-
@ScriptCoded Every blog post will have a corresponding issue and the comments on that issue are comments on that blog post.
-
@rantsauce Haha why? 😂
-
@ScriptCoded Why not? It's a light weight alternative to something such as disqus comments.
-
@rantsauce Sure 😅 100% client-side?
-
@ScriptCoded My solution involves a NodeJS server deployed on Heroku's free tier that fetches the comments using Graphql. However, I found this project that claims it's only client side https://github.com/imsun/gitment
-
@rantsauce Hmm... Neat... Does it require the commenter to have a GitHub account?
-
@ScriptCoded Yes. You also need to create a GitHub oauth app and you authorize users and obtain an access token for them to be able to comment.
-
@rantsauce Oh, for every single one?
-
@ScriptCoded Yes, every user should obtain an access token to comment. But that's done using the GitHub API so it's just code.
-
@rantsauce Neat :) Actually sounds a little fun 😅
I'm trying to enable GitHub issues based comments on my blog. However, I'm not sure if it's worth this mess.
