Add form to landing page for users to submit suggested talks

[jonathanKingston]

Can there be a suggested talks section added to: https://github.com/nottsjs/speakers

Something like:

Suggested talks

At NottsJS we are happy to look at all talk suggestions however some suggested talk ideas are:

• Application performance
• Security
• Future syntax of ECMA
• JavaScript Frameworks
  • Comparison of frameworks
  • Review of features
• Build tools

i think this is a great idea.. i would go simple

could that be a label in the feedback repo? "suggested-topic"

then use the gh api to render on /suggested-topics

[jonathanKingston]

Yeah seems a good idea as that way they can rotate.

#suggested-talks {
  display: none;
}
#suggested-talks.loaded {
  display: block;
}

<div id="suggested-talks">
  <h2>Suggested talks</h2>
  <p>At NottsJS we are happy to look at all talk suggestions however some suggested talk ideas are:</p>
  <ul></ul>
</div>

let suggestedTalks = document.querySelector('#suggested-talks');
let list = document.querySelector('#suggested-talks ul');
let url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/nottsjs/feedback/issues?labels=suggested-topic';

function createItem(subject) {
  let item = document.createElement('li');
  item.innerText = subject;
  list.appendChild(item);
}

function renderList(issues) {
  suggestedTalks.className += ' loaded';
  list.innerText = '';

  issues.forEach((issue) => {
    createItem(issue.title);
  });
}

fetch(url).then((response) => {
  return response.json();
}).then((response) => {
  renderList(response);
})

super happy with that

[jonathanKingston]

This should probably have a build process to be added to the site repo:

• Use node to make a static page
• Use babel to compile the code and inject into the HTML

[iancrowther]

@jonathanKingston - any chance you could make this a reality?

[jonathanKingston]

@iancrowther yup was waiting for your response on deciding how you wanted the build process added to the site and if that is ok?
(Looking at my past comment I realise I should have made that clear haha)
