noboilerplate VS utterances

NoBoilerplate [1] is a great Rust-oriented YouTube channel that's less tutorial and more of a tour of the strengths and foibles of the language. The videos are a great springboard, because they are entertaining as much as informative and inject a bit of hype and hope for when you're battling the compiler.

All my videos are built in compile-checked markdown, transcript sourcecode available here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate

I make videos for folks like you! And if you want to read, well my markdown is here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate/blob/main/scripts/24-rust-data-modelling.md

YouTubers I found very helpful: - https://www.youtube.com/c/LetsGetRusty - https://www.youtube.com/@codetothemoon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygL_xcavzQ4&t=1020s&ab_channel=DerekBanas - https://www.youtube.com/c/NoBoilerplate

I pull out all the rust examples into main.rs with literate, and the same with the Cargo.toml. My makefile is here https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate

My friend Tris has mentioned many times how positive his experience has been of the comments on his wildly popular Rust videos on YouTube.

Handling New Comments: There are excellent lightweight comment utilities available for managing comments on your eleventy blog. I personally use Utterances, but Giscus is also a great alternative.

We can use utteranc.es, a lightweight comment widget built on GitHub Issues to integrate authed comments in our blog.

utterances (open-source)

Typically, a comment requires server side code and a lot of messy management. It’s a pain. These comments rely on a tool called utterances. Utterances uses GitHub’s issue tracker which was designed to track bugs, as part of that it includes extensive comment and discussion capabilities. If an issue doesn’t exist, utterances will automatically create that issue for you. It created this issue for the comments in this page...

I've installed utterances on my GitHub repo. I've configured it and given it the appropriate permissions. At the end of setup, it provided me with an HTML script and the following instructions:

Fortunatly we have free, lightweight and efficient options to add comments in blog website or any website. I am talking about utteranc.es. A lightweight comments widget built on GitHub issues. Use GitHub issues for blog comments, wiki pages and more!

Go to https://utteranc.es and follow the instructions to set up the commenting system.

Giscus drew significant inspiration from utterances, which utilize an issue-based comment system instead of discussions. I experimented with utterances initially, but I found it less convenient due to its reliance on an issue tracker for conversational purposes.

If you're building a blog for developers, you can use a third-party commenting service that requires login with github, for example https://utteranc.es/
