Import Comments Into Disqus with Ruby and Sinatra
One of our users Jim Mulholland at LocoMotivation has created a great tool to import your existing comments into Disqus using Ruby and Sinatra.
What does this mean?
You can transition your old blogging system comments into Disqus via an RSS feed. It does require a some coding knowledge but Jim made it easy to understand.
What is Sinatra?
“Sinatra, it is a very light-weight Ruby web framework. It is good to use for simple micro-apps when Rails and/or Merb would be overkill.”
-Jim Mulholland
What do you need?
- Sinatra – Simple Ruby web framework
- FeedTools – Tool to parse or RSS feeds
- REST Client – REST client for Ruby to access REST api calls
- json – Parse the JSON objects returned from Disqus
For the Full Instructions on how to use this tool, visit his guide at LocoMotivation.
Thanks Jim!
