But that’s been around for a while. https://andreas.scherbaum.la/post/2024-05-23_client-side-comments-with-mastodon-on-a-static-hugo-website/
That is really cool
@illusionist Thanks! The nicest part is how little there is to it: the blog stays a pile of static files, and a small script fetches the replies to one post and renders them under the article. Happy to answer questions if you want to set up something similar.@selfhosted
Thanks for the explanation!
So that isn't a real federation and it just displays the comments?
@illusionist Yeah, display only. The blog is a pile of files with no actor behind it. The Mastodon post is the actual thread, Lemmy got it because the post mentions the community, and the page pulls that post's replies from the Mastodon API when someone opens it.@selfhosted
This page (blog) definitely needs some UI improvement, I don't see it as bad, but a site like this... I don't know, it doesn't inspire confidence. But that's me being delicate.
@baldur Fair. It's a stock theme with the defaults left on, and I spent the time on the plumbing instead of the front. Covers, a proper footer and a bit of identity are going in this week – if there's one thing in particular that put you off, I'd like to hear it.@selfhosted
It's not that I dislike it, it just looks a bit lifeless. I think you used Tailwind for that. We also use Tailwind at https://normals.me, but we look for designs in Dribble to unify the styles and make them look a bit better. I'll take a closer look and give you more constructive feedback right here.
