my

Source for bwplotka.dev personal website including blog posts.

Once cloned, make sure to run git submodule update --init --recursive

What it includes?

• Overview page
• Blog posts framework
  • YOLO comments reusing Github Issues (yes ^^)

git submodule update --init --recursive

What open source tools I used to build this?

• Hugo
• Theme KeepIt
• Improve favs & facebook linking: https://realfavicongenerator.net
• Netlify :heart: and it's free tier for open source projects!
• Tiny amount of jquery
• Awesome Github client for JS: https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/

What YOLO comments means?

Features:

• Using github issues as comments. For full discussions as well.
• On website in comment sections it gives you index overview of comments, nothing more.
• Prints all issues related to issue. Based on labels. For each new blog post new gh label has to be created (: (is there a label num limit?)
• It does not care about issue status, can be even closed.

Limitations:

• No dynamic reload
• Nested responses not rendered - only as numbers
• No markdown support
• It points to issue filtered list so not really user friendly for new comments I guess
• Trimming all above 200 chars

Can I copy the code for my own website?
