RE: Finally Comments - Sorting Comments & Fixes
Great work, Sam.
Is there a way a reader can leave a comment without being a Steemit user? I'm asking because user onboarding is still taking more than a week.
Thanks Jo. Totally possible but not implemented yet. It is something I'd like to add. Maybe i'll add if after the 'non steemit threads' as I'll need to add a database for that anyway.
p.s the user onboarding issue is pretty interesting. Not sure I can think of a better way for it to work tbh.

I do not know why it takes so long to create new accounts, but it might be an issue for a reader when she wants to leave a quick comment on your blog. Well, just something to consider and put in your backlog :)
I agree without a way to comment without a Steem account it wouldn't really be viable unless the majority of your audience was already a Steem user. Each new account needs 3 STEEM or 15 SP Delegation to be created, it makes sense that they do phone verification to reduce the ability to create multiple accounts. Still it takes 3-7 days to get through verification which seems weird. I wonder if the 18k accounts yesterday signals they have reduced the wait time.
