@mansoorbarri I don't think we should lock users down to a single comments platform, and support all the current multiple ones is a nightmare (Also utterances seems to be a bad choice because it requires a github ID to participate)

We have https://gokarna-hugo.netlify.app/posts/theme-documentation-advanced/#custom-head-and-footer-html for the exact reason

Maybe we can add customCommentHTML as a param since allowing comments on homepage, tags and post list page does not make sense

@526avijitgupta thoughts ?

[mansoorbarri]

true but having it via GitHub limits who can comment which can be a good thing since unhinged comments section would just invite spam. Additionally, there is param option available for anyone who doesn't want comments with utterances.

also, I did not understand what you meant by

No, because:

1. Not everyone in the tech domain has a GitHub account (A lot of people migrated away from GitHub due to controversies)
2. People who do not code definitely do not have a GitHub account

Due to this, other users would want to add their preferred commenting platform (commento, disqus, remark42 etc.)

Once we open that gate, we will end up maintaining 10+ comment platforms, which is not what we want

So, we have a customHeadHTML and customFooterHTML, we can create a customCommentHTML param so that you can just do

# config.toml

customCommentHTML =    """<script src="https://utteranc.es/client.js"
        repo="repoName"
        issue-term="title"
        theme="github-dark"
        crossorigin="anonymous"
        async></script>"""

true makes sense, I'll update.

@mansoorbarri Thanks for the changes

Few things:

1. Document this in the advanced theme section
2. Put this in a comments div which users can customize with external css if required
3. I'm not sure why, but this is not being rendered in the netlify preview, please have a look at that as well

i''m not sure why netlify wasn't working but its up to date now.
