Giscus

Currently Giscus is only available for public repositories hosted on GitHub.

Summary

Giscus is a commenting system powered by GitHub Discissions.

Details

Since Dendron utilizes Git for syncing workspaces, if you use GitHub to host your public notes, you can use the Discussion tab as a backend for comments in your published notes.

This feature can be enabled on a per-note basis, so you can enable comments only on the notes you wish to collect feedback.

Getting started

  1. Use the Configuration tool to generate the giscus configurations needed for the public repository.
  2. Use the generated values to update the giscus configuration namespace in dendron.yml.
  3. For each note that you want the Giscus widget to appear, add the frontmatter key enableGiscus.
  4. Publish your notes and test if they work as intended.
