Contributor Stats Banner - Enhancement and Improvements Ideas
Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
Following the initial implementation of the contributor stats banner in !1600 (merged) for team-task#1011, several enhancements and improvements were identified:
Technical Enhancements
- Add support for team member banners showing MR stats, reviews, etc.
- Consider adding contributor badges/achievements to the banner (ex. how many notable contributors/hackathon badges they won)
- Explore rspec snapshot testing for the service
- Create shortcut banner/me or similar
User Experience
- Create dedicated frontend page explaining the banner feature
- Add logic to handle non-contributors vs contributors differently with a redirect
Future Considerations
- Configurability options for users
- Investigate caching (I noticed that the image is served via a CDN when used on both GitLab user profile and GitHub user profile- we should check this is refreshed regularly)
