Hi I love this system and plan to use it for an online textbook I am
currently developing. I recently tested it by posting a comment to the
home page of my site with a base url like: `example.com` The comment
shows up just fine.

When navigating internally, however, sometimes the url becomes
`example.com/index.html` and there are no longer any comments listed,
even though the page is the same without the explicit `/index.html`.

Also here is a feature request \-- a navigation button to close the
profile view and return to the comment thread would be nice \-- using
the browser\'s back button or a page refresh is a little
counter-intuitive.

I think we could have a `Namespace` setting to toggle treating
`/path/index.html` the same as `/path`. I\'ll work on this tonight.

This defect has been solved. From now on, Remarkbox will make the
following translations:

`https://www.example.com/index.php` -\> `https://www.example.com`
`https://www.example.com/asdf/index.html` -\>
`https://www.example.com/asdf`

Both distinct URIs will be translated to the same thread.
