What it does

A lightweight commenting system using GitHub issues.

A lightweight comments widget built on GitHub issues. Use GitHub issues for blog comments, wiki pages and more! When Utterances loads, the GitHub issue search API is used to find the issue associated with the page based on url , pathname or title . If we cannot find an issue that matches the page, no problem, utterances-bot will automatically create an issue the first time someone comments. To comment, users must authorize the utterances app to post on their behalf using the GitHub OAuth flow . Alternatively, users can comment on the GitHub issue directly. Are you using utterances? Add the utterances topic on your repofrom utteranc.es

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
