💬 We Just Added Comments to Our Blog!
Great news—every blog post on qz-l now has a comment section! Starting today, you can share your thoughts, ask questions, and join the conversation right below each post.
Why Comments?
Blogs should be conversations, not monologues. We wanted a way for you to:
- Ask questions about what we share
- Share your experiences and perspectives
- Suggest improvements or point out mistakes
- Connect with others in our community

We're using Giscus, a modern, privacy-focused comment system powered by GitHub Discussions. Here's why we love it:
🔐 Privacy First
- No tracking pixels, no ads, no data selling
- Comments are stored as GitHub discussions in our public repository
- You control your data through your GitHub account
👨💻 Built for Developers

- No separate registration required
- Discussions are version-controlled and searchable
- Full transparency—everything is in the open
⚡ Threaded Conversations
- Reply to specific comments to keep discussions organized
- React with emojis to show appreciation
- Read discussions in a familiar format
🚀 No Middleman
- We don't rely on third-party comment hosting services

What's Next?
As we continue building qz-l, comments will play an important role:
- Community-driven improvements: We read and respond to your feedback
- Better content: Your questions help us write better posts
- Connection: Building a real community around link analytics
A Small Caveat
Since comments are powered by GitHub Discussions, you'll need a GitHub account to comment. This isn't ideal for everyone, but it aligns with our philosophy:
- We're building for developers and technical users
- GitHub is already part of your workflow
- It keeps spam and low-quality comments minimal
If you have suggestions for alternatives that maintain privacy and don't rely on third-party tracking, we're all ears! Comment below. 😉
Thanks for being part of the qz-l community!
We're excited to learn more about how you use qz-l and what you'd like to see next. The comment section below is always open.
Happy commenting! 🎉
