I have the same question, I am have a git based static generated blog, I am looking for something like

1. A git based tool to scrobble the music I am listening to, like Last.FM.

2. A status logger, I really, really miss the old MSN or GTalk days when there's a status line to show what my friends are doing or their mood. In fact most people have forgotten that's the original case for twitter.

3. A git based comment system to replace Disqus, I can merge for incoming comments or reject spam.

4. life streaming to log the movie I've watched or books I've read.

Can you elaborate why 3, a git-based comment system, is beneficial? When do comments need to be merged?

PS There is a small web sdk that enables comments on sited via github issues. see https://github.com/utterance/utterances

> a git-based comment system, is beneficial?

I don't need no db or a web API to store comments. A db need some moving parts to serve http, a third party service is unreliable in the long run. Comments can be stored as part of a static site, like in json for csv format, as it's frequently read but rarely written. Static files are easy to integrate into any webpage, easy to backup, migrate and grep.

I realize there are some problems yet to be solved, e.g. mask email address of the commentor.

Thank you, that makes sense.
