Even in production, scrolling is a bit slow! This will preload the pagination one click ahead.
There is a bit of a perf downside, in that if you click through the pages too fast, you'll trigger _extra_ requests. I think that's a net win though, and I'm not gonna try to get cleverer than this right now.
My main inspiration for doing this is actually our potentially-huge upcoming Vercel bill lol
From inspecting my Honeycomb dashboard, it looks like the main offender for backend CPU time usage is outfit images. And it looks like they come in big spikes, of lots of low usage and then suddenly 1,000 requests in one minute.
My suspicion is that this is from users with many saved outfits loading their outfit page, which previously would show all of them at once.
We do have `loading="lazy"` set, but not all browsers support that yet, and I've had trouble pinning down the exact behavior anyway!
Anyway, paginating makes for a better experience for those huge-list users anyway. We've been meaning to do it, so here we go!
My hope is that this drastically decreases backend CPU hours immediately 🤞 If not, we'll need to investigate in more detail where these outfit image requests are actually coming from!
Note that I added the pagination to the existing `outfits` GraphQL endpoint, rather than creating a new one. I felt comfortable doing this because it requires login anyway, so I'm confident that other clients aren't using it; and because, while this kind of thing often creates a risk of problems with frontend and backend code getting out of sync, I think someone running old frontend code will just see only their first 30 outfits (but no pagination toolbar), and get confused and refresh the page, at which point they'll see all of them. (And I actually _prefer_ that slightly confusing UX, to avoid getting more giant spikes of outfit image requests, lol :p)
The old URLs were glitchy because we weren't escaping the `layerUrls` param… and this will let us take better advantage of the same shared caching as other stuff!
I switched from my `_NoAuthRequired` opname hack, to a more robust `context` argument, and it's opt-in!
This should make queries without user data faster by default. We'll need to remember to specify this in order to get user data, but it shouldn't be something we'd like, ship without remembering—the feature just won't work until we do!
Oops, when refactoring and adding alt text, I didn't realize the padding for the text would affect the images too! And I forgot to add `overflow: hidden` to round the image's corners. Fixed!
To help the load time for outfits feel shorter, we now reuse the outfit thumbnail from the Your Outfits page as a placeholder!
This doesn't add any overhead when the thumbnail data _isn't_ in your session cache, e.g. if you navigate to the outfit directly. But if we have the thumbnail on hand already, we just show it, easy peasy!
Oh right, we can't cache objects well when they're missing their ID!
Before this change, selecting an outfit then navigating back would require the outfits to reload. Now, they stay!
Still a pretty limited early version, no saving _back_ to the server. But you can click from the Your Outfits page and see the outfit for real! :3 We have a WIPCallout explaining the basics.
This has been bothering me for a long time, but I couldn't really figure out what to do about it. But tweaking the site bg color a smidge has helped us really add texture to the cards I want to have pop out, like the outfit polaroids!
I kinda went all-in in a burst, but tbh I think it looks great :3
I haven't really touched the wardrobe page with it yet though, that'll probably need some tweaking... for now I'm overriding it to keep the old background!
