Client | [post comments] [show comments]

[post comments]: Web page to post comments.
[show comments]: Desktop application to show comments on your screen.

Browser extension version of the client has the ability to both post comments and show comments. The release in this repository will not include the browser extension because it contains specific host information. If need yours, build it yourself by specifying your host information.
