Easier way to post to my blog with comments already setup I asked AI to draft this for me. I've edited it. Any surviving AI smells are my oversight.
It’s wild, I’ve been building this using my own blog as a testing environment. It just keeps getting better. To be real and fair, there is a learning curve. But essentially where it stands now is you create an account on PopsicleBoat, you create and register an api key, and when you make a new post on your site you automatically get a comment section. Only if you want, per post, or not at all. You also own all the content, it’s a JSON file you own. PopsicleBoat could vanish and you’d still have those comments.
I don’t know of any third party commenting system like this, which is why I built it.
It’s ad free, tracking free, matter of fact the whole spirit of it is to make the modern internet free of… well, lots of things. Just enjoyable again, but with the touch and niceties that technology advances afford. Like cool user interfaces.
Anyway, the hurdle I noticed recently is that this particular offer had a steep learning curve (and let’s be honest, could still be steep). This post is just to say (more or less) that I’ve made strides to make it less steep. Testing it myself on my own blog was a little painful. Now it’s a little less painful.
It’s a work in progress but it’s come really far and is truly functional. I’m using it for this post itself.
Cheers
