UPDATE: It is now live at: static-hugo-comments

I’ve been cleaning up my comments script for hugo and am about ready to upload it to Github.

I added an option to use flat files or sqlite and it can notify Discord (and probably other services) when a comment is added. It’s all one php file.

The reason I’m telling you this is to force myself to actually do it. Otherwise there would be “one more thing” and I’d never do it.

I was talking to a game dev today about how to motivate yourself to get things done on your game. We both agreed publicly making promises is a good way.

This is the way.

Indeed. There's research that says that telling other people about your goals helps increase the chances that you'll achieve them. Keeping a journal of your progress is another proven motivator. So this is a two-fer :)
