Requires Hugo extended v0.159.0+.

Comments & Reactions

Backed by Supabase. Set supabaseUrl and supabaseAnonKey in hugo.toml under [params]. Run migrations/001_init.sql in the Supabase SQL editor to create the schema.

No login required — comments are anonymous. Reaction/vote deduplication is handled via localStorage.
