This PR aims to add a card which thank random Node.js contributors.

To Do

  • Contributor card UI
    • Show loading spinner
  • Fetch 1 random contributor
  • Optimize / Errors handling / Refactor
    • Handle requests errors
    • Use IntersectionObserver if available
    • Cache the response of the first request in localStorage and update it every month
  • Use s=80 for the avatar image
  • Remove the period before the contributions (maybe wrap it in parens)
  • Maybe use textContent instead of innerText?
  • Move .hidden to a general utility class
  • Fix IE >= 10 support
  • Fix IE <= 10 styling

As I recently learned the hard way, the CSS is currently used by other nodejs sites.

So, this shouldn't land until that's solved.

Also, I'm not very keen of using non standard attributes even if Chrome has the biggest market share.

Also do note height: 0 is bad. IMO you should occupy the exact dimensions to avoid reflows.

Nice feature!!! +100

I tend to use this because I think it will balance the layout with a random image, however if I use something like
image, which makes me feel making head to the wall because the left side is too crawded. That's only my opition ;)

This needs to wait until we have PR previews. And see if we can make only one API request instead of 2, see if we should cache this or not and so on.

Currently this slows down the page a lot that I'm personally not sure if we should move with this.

How do you see this slowing down the page a lot?

To me it looks like the JavaScript introduced here is mostly asynchronous, in other words not blocking rendering. And the Intersection usage supported by near 90% of users even tries to avoid triggering much of the added code until the <footer> is getting close to the viewport. Therefore I've convinced myself it shouldn't have much impact on slowing down the rendering or execution of the other parts of the website.

But you might be considering something that hasn't caught my eye yet 🤷‍♂

Adding the intersection observer was the idea of @XhmikosR, the home page is slowed down a lot by these 2 requests even with the IO :/

Should I cache the response of the first request to localStorage if supported ? If so how long ?

This makes me really curious.. Could you describe concretely what you mean by "slowing down" and "a lot"? E.g. is it the actual rendering of the entire webpage we're talking about here? How are you measuring before / after times?

XhmikosR commented Oct 9, 2019

This makes 2 XHR requests, and also fetches the avatars.

All this doesn't come for free :) An example https://gtmetrix.com/compare/OUjbjkwL/BXCUZpol

Note that the Netlify preview doesn't have the IO patch.

Yeay, great to have some insights to base discussions around 👍

Personally think the fact that it takes more time to wait for the browser to finish all its potential HTTP requests (+ followed by some code execution) is less important, and surely not a surprise as you're hinting at.

What is actually important is how quickly visitors gets the website rendered onto their screen. The fact that some parts gets rendered later or even not at all because of network failures etc, may or may not be a problem, it completely depends on what gets rendered later. What Google says about User-centric Performance is spot on IMO:

Web pages almost always have parts that are more important than others. If the most important parts of a page load quickly, the user may not even notice if the rest of the page doesn't.

In this particular scenario we're talking about nice-to-have content in the website's footer. Surely not critical for the visitor to do what they came to the website to do. The rendering of the main content will surely not be postponed significantly because of the changes added here.

Chrome's Performance-part of Devtools shows a few important stages related to User-centric Performance metrics that's really valuable. This is the results I got when measuring the nodejs.org vs these changes on netlify:

nodejs.org

Screenshot 2019-10-09 at 13 43 01

netlify

Screenshot 2019-10-09 at 13 42 14

Bottom line; I don't think the changes purposed in this PR will negatively affect nodejs.org visitors.

Maybe we could do a compromise by rebasing and squashing adjacent commits by the same author into each other? So it's only 7 commits instead of 21?

That I can try for sure.

But see if we can get someone to help us move with the build PR.

If so, I'd prefer we squash and add co-author metadata.

👍


This breaks if going to a 404 URL, because the language picker function throws, and this code never runs, leaving the user with a spinner and placeholder text.

@tniessen can you share the stacktrace please? Because when developing locally I don't get the 404 page.

@XhmikosR

BTW ideally you should make a new issue.

NVM, I saw the error on the live site. It's unrelated to this PR so please make a new issue. It has to do with the language toggler.
