The Comments control

Not in SVN yet but I am pretty happy with the state of the comments control. My goal was to make things super simple for users. No edit, no delete (although, I might add delete) and no replies. Just a nice little stream of consciousness on the bottom of pages. Inspired by the simplicity of twitter.

The more I think of it, the more I feel comments might be the most important part of Grurrah, since it gives people a way to communicate about Grurrahs.



Everything is nice and AJAXy thanks to Gaia. There are ten comments per a page displayed, and you can go to older/newer comments without a page refresh. Also adding a new comment doesn't cause a page refresh. Oh, and the Add Comment textbox thingy hides and expands without refreshing. Definitely makes the user experience a lot nicer than your standard click and wait webpage. Plus reduces strain on my webserver, which is pretty important considering the resource limited environment I am running in right now.
