V0.1.0 - Initial Beta Release

This release is intended for testing and feedback and is not necessarily ready for production enviroments (although there are current no known issues).

FinallyComments is an embedable Steem blockchain powered comments system. It differentiates it's from the current alternateives (Disqus & Facebook Comments) using Steems unique ability to distribute token rewards to users. An upvote (like) may also bring with it a small amount of token rewards.

This Plugin has not yet been submitted to the Wordpress Codex. Until the plugin is submitted/accepted you can trial it on your Wordpress site by downloading it from Github and re-uploading it to your own site.

Once activated the plugin will show a custom metabox when creating posts.

By default Finally Comments is not displayed.

All content posted to the Steem blockchain(from any platform) has a comments thread. Make use of this by copying the steemit.com version of the link (even if it was not posted on steemit originally) and selecting steem as the tread type. Comments will match across Finally and your own post on busy/d.tube/steemit etc. This option is useful if you are currently using steempress.

If your content is not posted on the Steem blockchain elsewere or if you prefer a new blank comments thread this is the option to choose.

To make use of custom threads you must first sign in through https://finallycomments.com/dashboard#api authorise your account and register your site with the Finally API. If you don't do this you will see an error page instead of the comments thread.

Specify the account name your website is autorised with and a custom thread will be generated on the first time you load the Finally Embed for that page. The Wordpress post slug will be used as the slug for you comments thread(this can not be changed at a later date) and can be found in the dashboard - https://finallycomments.com/dashboard#custom-threads.

The primary place to contribute will be through Github Issues. Specific issues related to the wordpress plugin can be added on that repo, more general requests/ideas may be moved to the main Finallycomments project.

I keep communications related to Steem project centered on Discord (sambillingham#7927) or Steem Dev Slack.

Clone the repo and symlink over to your Wordpress development environment for working on this plugin.
