PROFILE
Sudev Kiyada
Sudev Kiyada developed and maintained interactive video and scrolling components for the reuters-graphics/graphics-components repository over seven months, focusing on robust UI/UX and maintainability. He engineered the ScrollerVideo component, enabling scroll-synced video playback with features like embedded mode, multi-source support, and dynamic duration handling. Using Svelte, TypeScript, and CSS, Sudev improved component reactivity, state management, and layout reliability, addressing bugs and refining developer documentation for easier onboarding. His work included code refactoring, debugging utilities, and migration to TypeScript, resulting in smoother user experiences and more maintainable code. Documentation updates and changesets further enhanced traceability and integration for future development.

Jul 1, 2025In July 2025, the graphics-components team delivered a comprehensive ScrollerVideo overhaul that modernizes the component for embeddable usage and improved maintainability. The ScrollyVideo component was renamed to ScrollerVideo, and an embedded version was added with robust trackscroll support and dynamic duration handling. Embedded mode now defaults to non-autoplay with duration tied to the video length, and progress is constrained to 0-1 to ensure predictable UI behavior. UI and layout improvements include max height adjustment to 100lvh, ensuring consistent rendering across viewports. Documentation was significantly improved with advanced usage sections, usage stories, and path fixes to reduce onboarding time. Cleanup activities included removing placeholder assets (_tennis.mp4) and broader docs/code tidy-ups to support future iterations.
