Related to #12 and #10, part of "learning in public" is the important step of receiving and responding to feedback. For pages like blog posts and me describing side projects, this might not be totally important. But when I start writing paragraphs on random websites/subjects/entities (see #4) then it is probably necessary to allow people to critique and point out errors.

For the latest iteration of my blog (https://write.as/audiodude) I've tried to often put a "What do you think? Comment on Mastodon or send me an email" line at the bottom of posts. This is good, and I could do the same thing in the footer of the garden, but it's kind of a cop out.

At the same time there are technical hurdles. I want to preserve the status of my page as a static site. The last time I checked (which was admittedly maybe 4-5 years ago), the state of the art for comments on static sites was Disqus which I have lukewarm feelings about. It's probably easy to implement, gets the job done and provides persistent identity across comments across the web. But it can be an eyesore, with all its Web 2.0 rounded cornered-ness and being way too packed with unnecessary features.

Open to suggestions on other options.
