Gitment
A comment system for static sites that uses GitHub Issues for storage and authentication.
What is Gitment?
Gitment is a frontend JavaScript library that adds a comment system to static websites by using GitHub Issues as a backend. It allows visitors to post comments using their GitHub accounts, with all data stored directly in a GitHub repository. This approach eliminates the need for a custom server or database.
Developers and bloggers who run static websites (e.g., Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby) and want to add user comments without managing a backend.
Gitment offers a completely serverless solution that leverages GitHub's robust infrastructure for authentication and data storage, making it easy to set up, secure, and maintain compared to traditional hosted comment systems.
