Ready to use Disqus like template #359

Open sirinath opened 4 years ago

sirinath commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to add ready to use templates for major static site generation software like Hugo, Jekyll, etc. to create a Disqus like threaded comments with voting.

Gizmotronn commented 4 years ago

Having threaded comments would be amazing!

alexwaibel commented 4 years ago

Threaded comments are definitely possible with the current state of Staticman. This guide may prove useful though it references the public instance which no longer exists. The steps should be similar once you've got your own instance running.

@iootaa thanks for the pointer.

Some potential functionality we can have:

have up and down votes on comments and replies
star or rate comments and replies
collapse and expand comments and threads
add reaction using emoji icons to comments
display a discourse like summary of the comment thread at the top
display a colour-coded line to the left grouping reply threads by level
ability to sort thread by the user on:
- time updating thread
- votes
- rating
- reactions
toddle threaded and linearised format

These are good features for a commenting system to have, however IMO many of these are outside the scope of Staticman. Staticman is merely the backend that provides the ability to submit comments as PRs or commits. Things like "collapse and expand comments" are the responsibility of the front end website and is not a problem that Staticman itself seeks to solve.

@alexwaibel what I am looking for is some front end templates using Staticman where someone can just drop the code and get it to work without having to do a lot of programming. It can be in what @iootaa pointed out or even another project or maybe even as sample templates which are given in the site.
