Hi, did you ever manage to "migrate" the disqus comments over to github or did you just not bother with them?

[dc25]

Hi @davidobrien1985,

I didn't bother. Given that I could keep using disqus comments for old posts and switch to using github comments for new posts, it didn't seem that important.

@dc25 that's what I ended up doing on my blog now as well.
Thanks for your article. Without even advertising the fact that I was switching to github issues as comments people automatically started doing it.
Great job!

Is it possible to allow users to comment without creating a GitHub account?

[dc25]

@themindstorm,

Is it possible to allow users to comment without creating a GitHub account?

I can't think of a way, not as a variant of this technique.

@themindstorm,

I can't think of a way, not as a variant of this technique.

I wonder if a comment form can be implemented which will post comments using the github account of the article author (in this case, @dc25). The form will have a field for a special linked identifier (github account, email address, etc.) which would serve as a way to uniquely identify the author of the comment. This "metadata" could be rendered as desired to make it clear as to who the author of the comment is.

This would be one (inelegant) way to accomplish the goal of comments from users regardless of whether they own a github account or not.

does it still work

[dc25]

It still works. Every now and then I rebase the reference implementation ( see the blog post for details ) to the latest minima and rebuild with the current jekyll to make sure. So far there have been no problems. I went through this process today (2020-08-30) and a few months ago ( 2020-05-29 ). After doing this exercise, I always re-publish the reference implementation on github.

It's funny that people are still testing the comments.

main(){
    println("Ok working")
}

[dc25]

The comments are sorted from oldest to newest because that's how they were sorted in the original reference implementation. I started with that and never changed it.

It seems like the right choice. Most platforms that I have seen that allow comments display them from oldest to newest. I think that's what most people are used to.

That said, anyone who wants to use this system with sorting from newest to oldest can edit the following lines in github-comments.js :

// choose one of the next two lines to determine display order (newest or oldest first).
const commentsHtml = comments.join('');                // oldest first
// const commentsHtml = comments.reverse().join('');   // newest first
