I just tried to leave a comment on the kids Logseq page. I'm on mobile, don't have access to my GitHub credentials to log in. I'm also extraordinarily wary of exposing credentials to such a critical service for the benefit of leaving a comment on a blog.

If you have an actual goal of fostering comments, perhaps consider lowering the bar of entry.

I don't think there's an easy way to add other commenting systems for the Quartz static site generator that I use; their documentation seems to suggest that Giscus is the only way. I don't think Giscus has a way of allowing anonymous comments.

It's not a bad suggestion at all, but I'm not ambitious enough to extend Quartz to support another commenting system, especially since the analytics from Cloudflare Pages indicates that I don't get a lot of traffic anyway.

I decided that you were right, so I coded BY VIBE a simple comment system using Rust -> WASM -> Cloudflare Workers and Turnstile. No more login required! https://blog.tombert.com/
