more conflict-resistant comment storage Until now, comments were stored in filenames with an incrementing counter. As a result, conflicts are easy; two people commenting on a post around the same time would create the same filename. Then they'd run into conflicts when merging. Now comment filenames include a random slug. A secondary consideration is filtering out comments from the file-picker screen. It's only intended for top-level posts. I had a hacky way to do this. My ideal approach would be a directory per post, but Lua+LÖVE doesn't have a portable way to create directories. Now you now have to manually create a single directory called `comments/` in the directory of articles before using pothi.love. 2023-07-16 21:45:30 +01:00			`-- comments will always have metadata,`
