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.
