support Libravatar instead or as well as Gravatar #9

Open wolftune opened 9 years ago

See https://www.libravatar.org/

Bravo on the wonderful work!

On a side note: mirroring at GitLab.com would even be a direction that goes even more toward free/libre/open ideals… they are more FLO than GitHub and are even switching soon to Piwik instead of Google Analytics… but it's not a big deal.

I'm just impressed by the dedication to FLO ideals already, so figured I'd mention the even minor outstanding bits. Keep up the AMAZING work!!

Thanks for the compliments.

Currently the site uses gravatar on the commenting system, which is separate Rails application called juvia (https://github.com/lfzawacki/juvia) . The original project is not currently maintained by the creators and I've been thinking of making some improvements when/if I need them on the site. All that is to say that I could easily add support for libravatar, but It's just not a priority right now.

About gitlab, I'm not opposed to someone mirroring the code there, but again, I don't have it as a priority and won't do it myself any time soon.

Note: Libravatar when used via md5 actually includes Gravatar-fallback option already

Thanks for the tip, that would make things easier. It's still not something I'll get to right away but here are the libravatar simple api docs for my future reference: https://wiki.libravatar.org/api/

It should require little effort to just use this API instead of gravatar in juvia.

Libravatar is shutting down. See: https://blog.libravatar.org/posts/Libravatar.org_is_shutting_down_on_2018-09-01/ and https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/looking-back-on-starting-libravatar/ .

Closing old issue

Wait wait! Libravatar is back!! More promising than ever and should be supported!

Ok, I'll reopen and take a new look at it. It's already configured for the application avatars (not really used right now) and I could make it work with the commenting system which I plan on tackling in the near future.
