Firebase Jekyll Comments

This is my fork of Jenny Tong's awesome firebase comments plugin for Jekyll blogs. You can login with Twitter, Facebook, GitHub, or Google+ & post/receive comments in realtime. It's pretty great.

You can follow the original instructions in the repo readme and you'll need to style everything on your own — but here's what I added:

Emoji (shortcodes) support via emojione
Markdown support via marked
Emoji & Markdown are encoded when data is pushed to fb & js/css assets loaded via CDN
Comments now include date/time created. legacy fallback to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for old comments
Regex to grab a higher resolution version of twitter profile pics (what are we, retina-less savages?)
Null comment counts read as 0.

Extracted from my mods on gitat.me

I also connected this to Zapier so I get SMS notifications about new comments, but that's a whole separate thing.
