Updates to My Commenting System
I've been making some updates to my personal commenting system. Before they looked like this:
It was just a simple table that contained every comment, both original and replies, in one table. As more people commented, it got a little unwieldy and confusing, so I've changed the layout to that it's all nested comment threads now:
I've been using it for around 6 months and have received well over a hundred comments, plus moving it from Jekyll to Pure Blog was extremely simple - just some CSS changes, actually.
At this point it's battle tested and working great. However, there's still some rough edges in the code, and security could definitely be improved. So over the next few weeks I'll be doing that, at which point I'll probably release it to the public so you too can have comments on your blog, if you want them.
