GitComment – a comment section for your GitHub profile (Using Discussions as backend)

Discussion Content

GitHub profiles have no way for someone to say hi. You can star a repo or open
an issue about code, but if you land on someone's profile and think "this is
cool", there's nowhere to put that.

So I built one, on top of Discussions.

Someone comments on a Discussion in your profile repo, an Action redraws the
board and commits it to your README. Visitors use the GitHub account they
already have , which means.. no signup, no database, no server.

Everything is rendered as an SVG, which is also how the avatars end up circular. The catch is that an
SVG served through GitHub's image proxy can't fetch anything external, so every
avatar and the font have to be embedded as data URIs.

Nine themes included in the first version (working on more, yes - feel free to contribute) a terminal one, Windows 95 dialogue boxes, a comic one, some
hand drawn ones too, each in light, dark and transparent.
