Technically I think you can have comments via some embedded widget. Each page is still static, but there's a script tag in there that embeds a widget into the page that gives you commenting, usually via some SaaS
I think Disqus was the big one for a while. There was one I saw recently that uses github as the auth provider, which was interesting

- lagniappe 4y agooooh I like that, thanks!
- lagniappe 4y agoHey thanks for checking it out :) I have been thinking about the comments feature. It's like peas and carrots having comments on a blog. I have almost added them before, but didn't for fear it would sacrifice any of the simplicity - which led me to think about modules/plugins. I like the idea of plopping down a folder or zip that the Bearclaw binary then reads and incorporates. Maybe that's feasible, maybe it's not. I'm going on a walk in a little bit and will give thought to a plugin system. Any ideas you have in mind?
- lagniappe 4y agoI have now added plugin support. This week I will write some sample plugins and then make a gallery for people to see them. Thanks for the inspiration!
- lagniappe 4y agoThe first sample plugin is complete, along with the handling for it during build time :) I'll add the gallery tomorrow!
