Video autoload prevents reaching the webpage's footer

[ilyass-enn]

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for awesome manim, it's a cool website that shows how useful and used manim is.

I wanted to get the contacts to ask some questions, so I figured it has to be at the bottom of the page (awesome manim page). So I scrolled down to get there, and the videos kept on showing as I scrolled, I had to play the game of 'who faster? my scroll or the videos refreshing?' to hunt the contacts and info band.

Also I made a pull request and noticed few pull requests are pending for more than a month. How much time on average does it take for a pull request to get accepted?

Again, thank you so much for your efforts and have a nice day.

Kind regards,

Ilyass En-nasyry

Hi, Ilyass. Thanks for raising this issue!

• In my case, I couldn't even see the footer, because the videos always loaded instantly. I had to go to the Inspect tool and delete the "main div" video container in order to see the footer.
• Solving this properly requires a bit of discussion with the rest of the devs. One option could be disabling the autoload and replacing it with a button to manually load older videos. Another option would be having a small sticky bottom bar which can be clicked to expand and reveal the full footer, which is quite big (it could be made a bit smaller in general for all pages). Both have pros and cons. If you have another idea, please share it!
• In the meantime, instead of chasing the footer in https://manim.community/awesome, simply go to the main page: https://manim.community.

Regarding the PRs: sometimes they go a bit unnoticed, since all the focus is on the main ManimCE repository. However, since they usually simply add a channel to the README.md, they're also really easy to review and merge compared to the usual ManimCE PRs. In this case, currently they have all been merged (save for one draft PR).
