Ah that's fair enough.
I've actually been thinking about different ways of adding exactly that to a static site - technically you could have something like a comments form that just writes to a text file somewhere (perhaps updating a Gist with the API you mentioned[1]), which the static site reads from upon page reload.
Sounds a bit inelegant I guess, but could be interesting to implement.

- lmas 4y agoI've encountered https://github.com/utterance/utterances https://github.com/utterance/utterances, which relies on github issues for providing a blog comments system of a sort. Alternatively there's https://github.com/giscus/giscus https://github.com/giscus/giscus, which instead uses github discussions. Haven't used either so can't comment (heh) on their "performance".
- staindk 4y agoHa, wow those are both great, thanks for the links!
