Utterances

Utterances is an embedded commenting system that uses GitHub Issues as a backend to store and manage discussions for websites. It provides a web widget that integrates conversation threads directly into web pages, mapping individual URLs to specific GitHub issues to organize discussions by page.

The system integrates third-party identity verification via OAuth to ensure that comments are linked to verified accounts. It automatically handles the creation of tracking tickets when a conversation starts on a page without an existing record, converting website feedback into structured issues.

The project includes capabilities for comment categorization through labels and visual customization of the widget interface to match the branding of the host website.
