I recently added [Remark42](https://remark42.com/) for comments. It's still a work in progress, and I plan to update quite a few things about it in future since it was pretty untested when I found the plugin for it.
|
||
## Backend
|
||
I run the service from Docker on [[Projects/my-cloud|my cloud]], exposed at a subdirectory of this domain. Fun fact, the exact reason that I proxy through my cloud to the GH Pages hosting for this site is so that I can do stuff like this and throw related services on subdirectories.
|
||
|
||
I really enjoy how easy it is to bring-up my backend nowadays because everything is a docker container.
|
||
## Frontend
|
||
A [Transformer Plugin](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/advanced/making-plugins#transformers) for Quartz was on their Discord server that adds the necessary scripts to the page, and I put the comment element on the footer of the page.
|
||
|
||
Now works with SPA mode! Unfortunately, I’m waiting on an update that fires an event I can listen for when the theme changes so that I can also tell it to reload on theme change. For now, refresh the page if it looks glitched.

||
At present, you can choose to leave an anonymous comment or link it to your GitHub account. Alternatively, you can use email confirmation for notifications when someone replies to your comments!
|
||
## Todo
|
||
- Style the comment box to align with the styles on the site. Unsure if it would require reworking the plugin or just remark42. |
