Dalena integration

[dalena]

So, phew... with the extensive help of @hsab and @brysonian I was able to get my project files integrated onto the site. Tried to make sure that there aren't any conflicts with the rest if the site. @blerchin @lmccart @brysonian have a look to see if there are any issues that come up from your end.

I'm hoping to get my mp3 files hosted somewhere more reliable than github pages/github releases, but that's where my audio files are hosted as of now. I am still preparing my voiceover audio and will make some minor changes to my files before launching. Other than that, it should be complete!

@blerchin @brysonian Dalena is using jquery and howler for her project and these seem to increase the page size by 53KB. Would this be a cause for issues? Although I highly doubt it I was wondering if there's a way to deliver these only on her page.

[lmccart]

@hsab this doesn't answer your question, but it looks like the jquery is being used very minimally and could be replaced with vanilla js. I think it makes sense to keep the howler.

[blerchin]

It's possible to only deliver jquery on Dalena's page with webpack chunk splitting. But personally I'd prefer to spend that time removing jquery altogether. As Lauren mentioned it is used minimally – mostly for element lookups, which can be replaced with document.querySelector. The only actual use of a jquery feature I see is fadeIn which can be replaced with CSS transitions.

@dalena I modified this to remove all the jquery uses. I can see why you weren't excited about doing that, but ultimately everything it was doing could be replaced by <3 lines of js + CSS.
I think all the functionality is intact, but I don't know everything this code is supposed to do so I can't fully test it.

Well, it's almost working. For some reason switching from jQuery.async to fetch is causing the dreaded Navigation TimeoutError in react-snap
Probably something to do with the difference in XMLHTTPRequest and fetch API in the headless browser

@blerchin looks great! Thanks for spending and hour or so on this. 🙏🏼🌹

@blerchin I get the following from netlify
11:45:04 AM: Error scheduling build

[blerchin]

@hsab huh, seems like a weird Netlify fluke

[dalena]

@blerchin thank you so much for doing that. Everything seems to still be functioning! I'm okay with this if there is no more issues

[blerchin]

Yay! Looks good to me
