Instead of storing comments in your WordPress database, Wiscus connects your site to a GitHub repository and uses Discussions to manage conversations. Each post or page can automatically create and link to a corresponding discussion thread. Key features: ``` - GitHub-powered comments using Giscus - Automatic discussion thread creation - Lightweight and privacy-friendly (no ads, no tracking) - Easy integration via widget or shortcode - Customizable themes and mapping options - Hot page reloading ``` ### Development This plugin uses a build process (webpack) to generate production files located in /build. The full, human-readable source code is available here: [https://github.com/zakarialaoui10/wiscus](https://github.com/zakarialaoui10/wiscus) ### Project structure * [/src](https://github.com/zakarialaoui10/wiscus/tree/main/src/) : original source code * `/build` : compiled/minified production files (used in production) ### Dependencies This plugin relies on the following external libraries: * [giscus](https://giscus.app) used for embedding GitHub Discussions-based comments system. * [ziko](https://github.com/zikojs/ziko) a custom UI/library used for frontend rendering and components. ### Getting started Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/zakarialaoui10/wiscus.git cd wiscus Install dependencies: npm install Run development mode: npm run dev Build for production: npm run build ### Forking & Contributing You are welcome to fork and contribute: 1.
