It will just be articles, and that's all. +We got very few comments, half of those were spam, and replying was hard since +there were no email notifications. If we want replies, we'll just publish our +email addresses or other contact info. This makes a static site much easier +to consider; the few solutions available for comments either require me to host +another service that gets backed by a database somewhere, and the whole point +was to remove the dependency on binary files, or require me and the readers to +have GitHub accounts, which is not acceptable considering the fact that GitHub +is an American company, owned by Microsoft, and makes questionable choices +regarding its clients. + +I had considered at one point rewriting Brainshit in Python with Django, before +coming up with the cybrecluster and deciding that Brainshit is simply not large +enough to require something non-static.
