It would be good for users to be able to comment to each update of a project.

Check out how Beta.NYC integrates with Discourse for comments by creating topics within special subcategories for each content time: https://talk.beta.nyc/c/data

One downside of Discourse for this purpose is that it creates a topic for every single page it's embedded in; it seems reasonable to have a topic per project but per update could get cluttered/confusing.

The clutter can be avoided by stashing all the auto-created topics in a specific category or sub-category, but my current thinking is I'd rather the commenting be implemented directly in laddr like it is for blog posts so that every instance of laddr isn't crippled until it has a discourse companion. Discourse is a lot more complex to setup and expensive to maintain/operate, but would be a nice optional addon
