Got some PRs merged into the protege.dev repository to speed up a page load and fixed some accessibility issues.

Feature/generate contributors json #115

Description

Implements #116.

With this PR, a contributors.json file is created at build time now (includes the OG contributors just like before).

When the Contributors page is accessed, instead of hitting the GitHub API to retrieve the contributors list, it will now be passed in as a prop to the ContributorsList component, i.e. <ContribtorsList contributors={contributors} />.

The result is a faster page load for the contributors page with no additional network requests.

Man sliding across the screen saying "Aww yeah!"

Bug/fix some a11y issues #121

Resolves all of #118.

These are all fixes caught by the Axe browser extension (Chrome | Firefox) used in conjunction with the Web AIM contrast checker.

Feel free to suggest better colours. These are the ones I came up with as soon as the Web AIM contrast checker gave me all passes.

Fixed issue where additional contributor info was missing in profile. #129

In my previous work in #115, I created a regression. There was missing contributor profile information with my change. This fixes that. TLDR, the additional profile info was not being pulled properly.

Published my first post on DEV: dev.to/coteh/dead-simple-oauth-nho

I've been wanting to blog for a while now but didn't really know what to write about. I finally went ahead and made a small post about something cool I was learning about, and got 4 reactions and 20+ LinkedIn likes. I am looking forward to writing more articles about things I'm learning about! :)

My first post on DEV 🎉 Control the Probability of This GitHub Action from Passing/Failing. Which happens to be my first github action. Cooked it up few days ago to play around with with what I can do with github actions in JavaScript, it was a really fun experience and learned so much! 😁

My biggest win is I officially finished my last day at my current company. Had many phygital (physical + digital) farewell lunches and my ex-colleagues all celebrated my move to my new job. Thankfully all ended not just in a good note, but on a high note!

It's just an UI with CRUD features on a dataset, kind of like the Django admin. I'm still learning on Holo, it's very new but you should definitely check it out, it's looks like a big deal 😊
