I'd like to share a project that I've been working on to try out Shadcn/ui: GlintFlow commenting system

It's an early stage commenting system that has claps (like in Medium) instead of likes/dislikes, and people can give up to 50 claps.

It's built with NextJS (the usual suspect) and Shadcn.

Right now it's extremely simple, you can give claps (on article/page and comments) and add comments as guest (no login required). Planning to add more features like spam protection, user login to post, moderation, dashboard, analytics etc. if there's interest.

I hope you find GlintFlow as engaging and useful as I do and would love to get feedback on it! You can check it out at https://glintflow.com, just scroll down to find a demo instance of it.

## Motivation ##

Firstly, I wanted to try out shadcn on a simple-enough project. I've mainly been using Mantine.js which have been great, and looks great, but honestly Shadcn looks even more amazing; both have very functional components. But looks aside, I wanted to see how much ease of development I'd be trading off for it - quite a bit, but not enough to drop shadcn.

Secondly, I personally the claps to be more fun/engaging than the plain like/dislike buttons but haven't really seen any third-party embeddable commenting system. So built something to see if anyone would find it useful.

If you're interested in trying embedding an instance for yourself, ping me and I'll set something up for you. Not planning to charge anything atm and will try to keep it so permanently for early adopters as long as their usage is not ridiculous.
