Using GitHub Issues for Static Blog Comments

I set up a GitHub repo to use the issues for my Jekyll blog's comments. It also uses GitHub Actions and Netlify Web Hooks to update comments when they are created, edited, and deleted. The whole thing was pretty fun to get working and it's nice to have a static way to allow comments that respects privacy and doesn't hurt page load times.

Very nice!

Here's a write-up of a similar (github issue based) scheme that uses client-side scripting to render and post comments: https://davecompton.net/2017/06/24/using-github-comments-in-a-jekyll-blog.html .
