Description

Acceptance Critera:

Web app has a non-functional chrome (hamburger, echo and search bar), styled like the Minerva skin in MobileFrontend. Neither of these buttons need to be wired up so don't waste too much time at this stage doing that.
Serves content from the Barack Obama article via Parsoid/RESTBase. The API response should return sections, there should be no need on the client to transform the response.
Touch in with @pizzzacat and @JGirault at some point during the sprint as both have a vested interest in prototyping.

Mentioned In: T113769: Spike: Scope the first version of JavaScript-based prototype on existing Parsoid service
Mentioned Here: T114072: <section> tags for MediaWiki sections

@Jhernandez you said in standup this is done. Can you update us on where you are / what you've learnt?

Also have you spoken/shared your work with @pizzzacat and @JGirault ?

Key learned points are:

Parsoid HTML raw is too heavy for mobile browsers
- Visit http://chimeces.com/webkipedia/#/wiki/Barack_Obama on your phone and watch the browser block
- Similar thing happens visiting https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Barack%20Obama directly on your phone
Sectioning in parsoid is not supported so we will have to replicate MF's logic around sectioning on the middleman server.
The UI dev experience is delightful with a client side app, react and live reloading.

For @pizzzacat and @JGirault the repo is here https://github.com/joakin/webkipedia Feel free to poke around, and we can organize a session for showing the dev experience if you are interested on it.

Awesome.
