Hi! When importing comments, is there a way to keep the original date and author ? and show the comments history of a post properly on the website ?

closing as @JuergenGutsch provided a solution

Hi @lazywinadmin

• History: I kept the history by migrating the comments in the right order. But the hierarchy is gone because the GitHub issue comments are a flat list
• Date & Author: Actually there is no way to map the Disqus users to GutHub users and you are not able to set the actual issue comment date. I placed the original autor name and the original name into the comment.

The result looks like this: JuergenGutsch/blog#117 It's not really the nicest solution, but fine for me.

Thank you very much for the example.

Due to the limitation of GitHub based comment system that there are no anonymous user, after migration, the comments from other users do not look great to me. I am hesitating between paying Disqus and migrating to other comment systems.

@JuergenGutsch Thanks for your work on that! Could you add a small README that has instructions on how to run your tool?

@daattali Thanks! Sure. I'll do that.

Thank you! I'm considering adding this commenting platform to my github theme beautiful-jekyll but I wanted to ensure existing users can easily migrate their comments
