Discussion on non-functional nature of website on local dev environment

[waridrox]

Please describe the problem (or idea)

While testing the website for development, I ran into a problem where the data could not be fetched and displayed. This could possibly be due to some rate limit on the API that is fetching a lot of data on each reload if I'm not mistaken 🤔 or maybe this issue is specific to me.

The waiting time to restore the functionality is not great either and possibly takes longer than 10-15 mins.
This is a great barrier for many to test the website locally in the first place.

We can have a discussion for the same for the possible solutions so that we can finally settle upon something meaningful that doesn't take a lot of time to restore.

Hi @YogeshSharma01, in this issue, I'm not talking about the duplicate navbar that was fixed in the pr but the non-availability of the content regarding issues, contributors list etc due to rate limit on API or db in local dev environment. Do you face the same issue or do we have to put our GitHub API token in a .env file to make it work ? 😅

@waridrox No, you don't have to do that. Ideally, it fetches the data there is no issue. And if the API limit exceeds you should be able to fetch after some time.
