Ugh, why no comments???¶
Many moons ago, when my blog was hosted elsewhere I built a comment system for it. Comments came in, I learnt things, I was corrected when wrong. Times were good.
However, my own personal version of eternal september occurred at some point and the comments became almost valueless(spam or unrelated rants). I disabled them; times were good again.
Then back in 2009, I re-added comments via Disqus. There was almost no spam, and the comments felt mostly useful. Disqus remained for a little while, but I never felt comfortable with it. It forces an enormous amount of tracking on visitors, and does so regardless of whether an actual comment is being posted. I disabled it; times were good again again.
But, I want to comment!!!¶
Cool, I like comments. I’ve learned a lot of things via comments about this site and its previous incarnations. I absolutely welcome them, but I don’t want to wade through spam or enable enormous amounts of tracking on visitors.
If you want to comment then drop me a mail, reply via your own site or as a last resort open an issue.
If your comment is more of a clarification or a fix, you may even want to consider a pull request. If my friend Matt can do it, so can you!
