Staticman comments

[luispuerto]

I have to implement Staticman comments. Perhaps I can wait until gitlab implementation finish.

This tool could be interesting too.

Some documentation:

• https://snipcart.com/blog/staticman-dynamic-content-static-website
• https://mademistakes.com/articles/improving-jekyll-static-comments/
• https://mademistakes.com/articles/jekyll-static-comments/

Staticman now supports [threaded comments](url
eduardoboucas/staticman#35) I have to check how mademistakes.com has done it.

No, you don't have to.

The working source code for the GitLab support was already there on Jul 23. Looking back, if one had forked the commit earlier and ran his/her own Staticman API instance, he/she would be able to post comments on GitLab Pages powered by Staticman without waiting for the future deplyment of Staticman v3 on the public production instance.

You may view my sample site, its source code, the source code for my own API instance and Heroku's guide for deploying an existing Node.js app (e.g. Staticman) to Heroku, who provides a free tier including 1000 free hours per month. (24 * 31 < 800).

Some documentations:

• Nicolas Tsim's setup guide in Staticman#219
• Sean's Staticman server setup guide for Jekyll
• Heroku's Node.js deployment guide

@VincentTam hey!! thanks a lot for the info. I have to get time to look at it and implement staticman on my site. It's already implemented but I think it's in a basic way... but I haven't look thoroughly to the MM outdates in my template.

@luisspuerto The setup guide in the linked PR mixes up GitLab repo config and API server config. An error in his guide is drowned between my discussions with the developer. Therefore, I've just finished writing my GitLab repo setup guide. A custom Staticman server setup guide is upcoming. Hope that helps.
