Issue #199

1ARdotNO commented 8 minutes ago • edited

I have been looking into implementing some comments feature for the pages.

I have tested with https://giscus.app/ which uses gihub discussions as the backend for the comment field.

configured as such

Then taking the snippet created from the giscus app and pasting it at the bottom of the .md file and due to the feature of rendering html in digital garden already, this causes the comment field to be loaded and it works great :-)
Example: https://1ar.no/zero-tier-and-github-actions-zero-tier/
source: https://github.com/1ARdotNO/public-brain/blob/main/src/site/notes/ZeroTier%20and%20Github%20Actions%20%E2%80%93%20ZeroTier.md
backend: https://github.com/1ARdotNO/public-brain/discussions

What I am struggling with is how to set it up some that in the settings in obsidian there is a field that the giscus snippet can be pasted in, and automatically appended to the file when it is published.
Any pointers or help about how this can be accomplished?
