Gatsby PLUGIN Commentator

This plugin adds comment feature to a GatsbyJS website. The goal is to abstract out all the details for posting and storing of comments in a GatsbyJS website.

It gives a barebone commenting system which gives the developer consuming this plugin the total control of the look and feel of gatsby-plugin-commentator elements.

Kindly star it if you find it useful! Gracias!!!
