Automated list of authors

[kacperduras]

It proposes to automate the process of showing the authors on this site, through integration with Github API:

• URL: https://api.github.com/repos/lvlup-pro/spawn-frontend-material/contributors
• Rate limiting: [...] For unauthenticated requests, the rate limit allows you to make up to 60 requests per hour.
• Example result:

In my opinion this is a much better solution, because every person who has any impact on the project will be added automatically :P

For unauthenticated requests, the rate limit allows you to make up to 60 requests per hour. Theoretically user can view credits page more times then 60 per hour.

every person who has any impact on the project will be added automatically Sometimes it's very small impact that doesn't have to be displayed.

For the time being, contributor list will be modified manually. This project is not big enough for this kind of automation. Contribution must have bigger impact to be added to list, all contributions (even smallest) are (and will be) listed on this page https://github.com/lvlup-pro/spawn-frontend-material/graphs/contributors and I think it's enough. Thanks to manual adding it's easier to me to give gifts for contributors (stay tuned about this!) and harder to forget about that.

Current rate limit is 240 requests per 60 seconds. Should be enough for 4req/s or bigger peaks for few seconds. If you have more questions about rate limiting (eg. more quota per account), please create separate issue, thanks :)
