Pull Request: JavaScript Performance and Robustness Improvements

📋 Summary

This PR optimizes the landing page JavaScript for better performance, reliability, and future-proofing.

🎯 Changes

1. Fixed Deprecated API Usage

  • Before: Using deprecated navigator.platform API
  • After: Modern navigator.userAgentData with fallback
  • Impact: Future-proof against browser deprecation warnings

2. Added Comprehensive Null Safety

  • Added 23+ null checks across all DOM operations
  • Impact: Prevents crashes if HTML elements are missing or renamed
  • Functions improved: updateCommands(), updateVisibility(), event listeners, Easter egg

3. Performance Optimization

  • Cached frequently queried DOM elements (.pm-cmd, .pm-install, .os-cmd, etc.)
  • Before: 4 DOM queries per state update
  • After: 0 DOM queries (using cached references)
  • Impact: Faster state updates, especially on slower devices

4. Removed Dead Code

  • Deleted unused installCmds object (13 lines)
  • Deleted unused osCmds object
  • Impact: Smaller bundle size, cleaner codebase

5. Enhanced Clipboard Functionality

  • Added execCommand fallback for older browsers
  • Added visual error feedback (red flash on failure)
  • Works in HTTP contexts (not just HTTPS)
  • Impact: Better UX, wider browser support

6. Lock File Cleanup

  • Removed package-lock.json and pnpm-lock.yaml
  • Kept bun.lock as primary (per README)
  • Updated .gitignore to prevent future conflicts
  • Impact: Prevents dependency version mismatches

📊 Statistics

Metric Before After Improvement
Deprecated APIs 1 0 ✅ Fixed
Null checks 0 23+ ✅ Crash-proof
DOM queries/update 4 0 ✅ 100% cached
Dead code lines 13 0 ✅ Cleaned
Browser support Modern only Modern + legacy ✅ Wider

🧪 Testing

All changes are backwards compatible and defensive:

  • ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality
  • ✅ Graceful degradation for missing DOM elements
  • ✅ Clipboard works in more environments
  • ✅ OS detection more reliable

📚 Documentation

See OPTIMIZATIONS_SUMMARY.md for detailed before/after code comparisons.

🤔 Discussion Points

  1. Lock file deletion - I chose to keep only bun.lock based on the README. Let me know if you prefer keeping multiple lock files.
  2. Testing - I don't see automated tests in the repo. Should I add some?
  3. Breaking into smaller PRs - Happy to split this into multiple smaller PRs if you prefer.

✅ Checklist

  • Code follows project conventions
  • Changes are backwards compatible
  • Documentation updated (OPTIMIZATIONS_SUMMARY.md)
  • Commit messages follow Conventional Commits
  • No console.log statements (only console.error for legit errors)
  • Self-reviewed the code

Ready for review! Let me know if you'd like any changes or have questions about the approach. 🙌

- Replace deprecated navigator.platform with userAgentData
- Add comprehensive null checks for all DOM operations (23+ locations)
- Cache frequently queried DOM elements to eliminate repeated queries
- Remove dead code (installCmds, osCmds objects)
- Improve clipboard copy with execCommand fallback and visual error feedback
- Fix Easter egg animation with null-safety wrapper
- Update font loading comment for clarity

Performance improvements:
- Eliminated 4 DOM queries per state update cycle
- Reduced bundle size by ~13 lines of dead code
- Added visual feedback for clipboard failures

See OPTIMIZATIONS_SUMMARY.md for detailed before/after comparisons
- Remove package-lock.json and pnpm-lock.yaml
- Keep bun.lock as primary lock file (per README)
- Update .gitignore to prevent future lock file conflicts

This prevents dependency version mismatches when different
contributors use different package managers.

Suggested change
textArea.style.opacity = '0';
document.body.appendChild(textArea);
textArea.select();
success = document.execCommand('copy');
document.body.removeChild(textArea);
textArea.style.left = '-9999px';
textArea.style.top = '-9999px';
textArea.style.opacity = '0';
// Ensure the element is selectable by making it not display: none or visibility: hidden
textArea.setAttribute('readonly', '');
document.body.appendChild(textArea);
// Focus must be called before select() for reliable execCommand execution
textArea.focus();
const selected = textArea.select();
// execCommand('copy') requires the element to be focused and selected
success = document.execCommand('copy');
// Only remove after ensuring the operation is complete
document.body.removeChild(textArea);
// If execCommand appeared to succeed but didn't actually copy, mark as failure
if (!success) {
console.warn('execCommand(copy) returned false - fallback copy may have failed');
}

Missing focus() call and inadequate DOM positioning in execCommand fallback causes unreliable clipboard copy behavior in older browsers
