## Description

Make comments better for visitors by modifying the comment form.

This plugin adds some small hacks around core WordPress comment forms including:

 * Hide the url field (will be configurabel in future releases)
 * Makes all fields html5 compliant.
 * Make email, name and comment required fields on the front end via required attribute.
 * Make the comment textarea expandable for better use of space.
 * Hide the email and name fields until a visitor begins adding a comment.
 * Saves unfinished comments in localstorage for repeat visitors.
 * If the commenter doesn’t exists saves their details in the database with an unclaimed
   user role
 * Give each comment its own permalink
