Description

I'd like to be able to shut down the server and then re-open it against the same commit range and have the comments still there. Perhaps not the default, but a flag you could use. Obviously a fairly substantial overhaul. Closely related to #28.

Perhaps even just some kind of LRU browser local storage, keyed off the commit range in question.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #28 and comparing the server shutdown/reopen workflow with the proposed browser local-storage alternative. Define how comments are keyed to a commit range and whether persistence is enabled by a flag; done means comments remain available after reopening the same range.
