A snippet from my nom-video module from Naughty Girl to demonstrate the "Page Visibility" API (browser implement)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>nom-video: demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- hero video cover -->
<!-- ...and so on and so forth and what have you! -->
<!-- Album page with 25 video thumbnails -->
<!-- Wait for it! -->
<!-- ... -->
<!-- Damn girl! Your data stream blow job has nearly got two of my very expensive CPU cores to melt! -->
<!-- Okay, now that we are at the very bottom of the page, it is a generally safe assumption that the critical bits
of the page will have completed or be well upon its way to completion by this point! -->
<script src="/nom-video/src/hooks/vis.js">
// NOTE(jeff): Need not bother with this when empty; I am only showing it for sake of the API...
const p = {
videos: [],
};
// IMPORTANT(jeff): The only requirement here for calling this guy is that the HTML DOM has finalized its parsing,
// AKA the video tags have parsed in (as far as the browser sees it!)
setupPageVisibilityAPI(p);
</script>
<!-- Do **not** waste everybody's time parsing in the whole module here; you ass, I broke this feature into its own
standalone unit for the same very reason that has me creating this demo for you here no! Future teller I am. -->
<script src="/nom-video/index.js"></script>
