Adding blog comments

Has anyone incorporated a blog system such as htmly with X3?
I have a basic blog folder and would like to add comments, and likes to the posts. As far as I can see, the PHP should be fairly easy to add but getting the CSS Styles to be reused would be my issue.

I am not familiar with htmly, but it seems to be a separate PHP framework to build your own custom blog with.

X3 already works with various comments platforms, like Disqus used here:

Keep in mind, this would be by using a Javascript widget (which should be available from external providers). You can't really integrate PHP into X3, because X3 uses pre-rendered templates, which additionally cache as HTML responses. It's not a platform that you can easily add your own dynamic html into.

I think realistically, you would need to use a platform like Disqus to add comments and likes below any page or post in your X3.
