Bluesky Comments for Static Sites

Nov 2024

Based on the work already done by Emily Liu and Samuel Newman, a straightforward (re)implementation of their commenting systems for static sites (tomcreighton.com is compiled offline and hosted on Github Pages, for example) using plain ol’ HTML and JS.

This version finds a div with the ID bluesky-comments and drops a straightforward ul element into it; each skeet gets its own li with the appropriate details.

This site has some custom CSS to match the JS output to my existing styles, but you can do whatever you want, and the HTML output is extremely remixable. The code is on Github.
