Hugo was really awesome but I had to look for a Comment System. Staticman and Remarkbox were great but this blog is hosted on GitLab’s Repo, so no Staticman support and Remarkbox was not that great option.
Back to the 90s! Lol!
Your solution reminds me of how we used to write comments in site guestbooks back in the day.
Hm… I like your solution since it’s dead simple to implement and a throwback.
lol! I didn’t like disqus or anything else like that. This looks cool!
Maybe interesting for you to know that a few days ago I posted about a new alternative to Disqus and others: Talkyard. (I’m developing it)
Instructions for Hugo: https://hugo-demo.talkyard.io/posts/demo-and-instructions/
I realize though that now you’ve found another alternative that works okay for you :- )
Now Staticman has native GitLab support.
You may view my demo sites.
