Add "About Us" Section with Dynamic Stats

[JustinhSE]

Overview

We aim to enhance our website by incorporating a new "About Us" section. This section will feature dynamic statistics that reflect the vibrancy and activity of our project. The statistics to be displayed include:

• Number of contributors
• Number of lines of code
• Number of commits

These stats should be automatically updated by connecting them to our GitHub repository, ensuring real-time accuracy. For the implementation, we recommend using the Number Ticker component from Magic UI, as detailed in the documentation: Magic UI Number Ticker.

Task

1. Develop and integrate an "About Us" section (use routing in Next.js).
2. Implement the Number Ticker component to display the following statistics:
   • Total number of contributors
   • Total number of lines of code
   • Total number of commits
3. Establish a connection with our GitHub repository to ensure the statistics are dynamically updated.
4. Test the functionality to confirm the accuracy and responsiveness of the stats display.

Note: If you require assistance or have ideas for additional statistics or other enhancements, please contribute to the discussion thread below. Your input is valuable to us!

For more info about this issue, you can use the GitHub api

Commit Count

To get the total number of commits:

1. Use the "List commits" endpoint from the GitHub REST API[1].
2. Make a GET request to https://api.github.com/repos/Namit2111/bible-verse-finder/commits .
3. Set the per_page parameter to 1 and page to 1 to minimize data transfer.
4. The response will include a Link header with a last URL. Extract the page parameter from this URL, which represents the total number of pages.
5. Multiply the number of pages by the per_page value to get the total commit count.

Number of Contributors

To get the number of contributors:

1. Use the "Get all repository contributors" endpoint[1].
2. Make a GET request to https://api.github.com/repos/Namit2111/bible-verse-finder/contributors.
3. Count the number of items in the response array to get the total number of contributors.

Lines of Code

1. Use the "Get the weekly commit activity" endpoint.
2. Make a GET request to https://api.github.com/repos/Namit2111/bible-verse-finder/stats/code_frequency.
3. The response will be an array of weekly data points, each containing additions and deletions.
4. Sum up all the additions and subtractions to get an estimate of the total lines of code.

I will look into this issue a bit more over the weekend. But your comments on getting the needed statistic is a good starting point @JustinhSE. When I get other ideas of what else can be incorporated, I will start a discussion here.
