Comments enabled

Today I enabled comments on this blog.

You need to have an github account in order to make comment. This is because the main audience for this blog is developers and this should cut down on the spam.

Comments are stored GitHub Issues using the Utterances comments widget.

I chose Utterances because:

• it is lightweight
• makes use of the issues API, which at the moment should be more stable than the discussions API.
• Has its own bot, so there is no need to embed javascript with an app ID/secret.
