Staticman support #51

Open yh-luo opened 6 years ago

Hi, Thank you for the amazing theme! It is well-designed and equipped with useful features 👏 The theme now only supports Disqus, I wonder if there's any possibilities to use staticman as comment-system in the future?
I tried to modify the current theme following https://gohugohq.com/howto/staticman-hugo-comment-system/ and the repo provided by staticman.
Unfortunately, I cannot make it work...😢
I found that Beautiful Hugo supports staticman, so it may be possible to integrate staticman with Hugo theme.
Disqus is easy-to-use, but I think staticman would be a good alternative for static websites!

I sent a pull request #52 about it. Please have a look if interested. Thanks!

I can't agree more with the last point you raised. Staticman is much better than Disqus in terms of SEO. The search engine finds the whole page with the comments, without the need to ask for a third-party service for the comments.

Storing site comments as YML data allows one to load it in whatever way they want. This gives the possibility to write math in Markdown in comments. (for example, my recent PR halogenica/beautifulhugo#222)
