Hm. Is it really a "static" website if you have some JS constantly listening for updates?

JS isn’t listening for updates, but simply pulling in a static html file filled with comments.

    document.getElementById('commentlist').innerHTML = xhr.responseText

Static as in "the page is pre-generated, not generated on every HTTP request"

It's the right setup for write rarely, read often scenarios.
