This is all nice and great, but if people want static blogs because they're easy to setup and never break, or that they want to use GitHub Pages or similar cheap easy static servers out there, then this tool becomes a madness.

I do agree that there are more robust ways to have comments on your static blog, like disqus (if you don't mind the tracking) or maybe github issues.

  Sorry about all the negativity expressed here. I only commented this way because I really thought a lot of other people would comment praising your software, so I should do my part and criticize it somehow.

The same exact static page is now available in http://dyu.gitlab.io/comments/ http://dyu.gitlab.io/comments/ Thanks for the heads up about gitlab's static hosting

  No no! That was just a silly comment to test the service, not a criticism or anything! Anyway, I think you should try resubmitting this to Show HN later.

    Cool. Anyway the one I posted above was a typo. I meant to post the github.io link instead of gitlab
