Comments documentation
Bootstrapware Comments adds discussions to a record your app already owns: a task, a CRM opportunity, a purchase order, a page, or a client-portal request. layout="threads" (the default) is several discussions with flat replies. layout="section" is one comment stream under that record. layout="forum" is a topic list, and each topic is a nested reply tree. Nested replies stop at depth 5. Your server decides who may read and write. The widget does not sign users in. Chat stays person-to-person messaging. Feedback stays requests and votes.
Local mode and test keys are free. BYO is $9.99 per workspace per month and keeps discussion text on your backend. Hosted is $19.99 per workspace per month and stores threads, comments, mention ids, and read markers. The second paid Bootstrapware product is 25% off that product's list. The third and later are 35% off list.
