Comments and Reviews
100% static, no generation needed, the JS dynamically render the Markdown in the browser, so you can host it with Gitlab pages (or github pages) without even needing to configure a CI.
Amazingly simple to use and (of course) very well documented !
clean, javascript based, lightweight and soo many plugins
