Hugo comments

Jan 4, 2026

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 :)

You could put your head in a guillotine, and if you don't achieve your objective, the assured consequence will ensue.

I just listened to the TWP podcast #25 in which you and Mark said the almost same thing about how saying something out loud means it has to happen.

Still waiting for Mark’s blog post on his process of drawing backgrounds he promised … 10 years ago? Time flies.

It is a good way! It also guarantees that you don't promise the moon and keep things fairly grounded.
