Set up a comment section

[saligrama]

There's no way to leave a comment on the blog entries. Either we should set one up using Jekyll (idk how to do this) or just leave a link to a reddit post that would serve as the de facto comment section.

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to include comments on Jekyll posts. The simplest solutions are to simply use another service's (Facebook, Google+, Disqus, Wordpress, etc.) comment API, but due to various inherent problems with that I don't think any of those would serve as a viable choice.

Alternatively, we could follow a path similar to this blog post which used Lumen to create their own system. Lumen is PHP and I know @saligrama in particular would probably rather avoid that, however I'm sure there are frameworks in other languages which work similarly.

How about we use the subreddit as a sort of comment section? It wouldn't be integrated with the page itself, but it's a possible solution. We could leave a "leave your thoughts here" link or try to find a widget that does that.

We could post a link on the subreddit to the blog every time there is an update.

That could work. In the beginning we'd have to manually add a link, but NetFreedomReddit could probably be updated to automatically do it.
