profile-generator's Issues

Make this a non-flask app

There is no need to keep this a web app anymore. Since it was decided to not make the profile page dynamic.

We are going to have a 'Contact Us' form in the website and whenever someone post any queries an email should be sent to a member of KOSS. So it makes sense to add a configuration for supporting this, preferably sendmail.

Make the backend faster

~~None of the process in the backend is asynchronous~~.The profile generating part of the template is not asynchronous. Due you which the process becomes slow. ~~For ex:- In the mailing part of the app, it should send a 200 OK status as soon as the POST request is received. The sending part can be done afterwards~~. Similarly, in the template part, it should be divided into modules and made asynchronous for faster execution.

Use the new GraphQL API from Github instead of REST API

The user information should now be extracted from the GraphQL api because it is faster.

Is scraping really required?

Can't we just ask each and every member to send a PR to include their name on the website. Won't that make more sense, because then people can edit the content they want to write there?

And I hope all of our members do know how to send PRs, if they don't then maybe it's high time that they are kicked out of our team.
