Worked on enhancing the performance of the pie-modal component in the justeattakeaway/pie repository, focusing on improving the user experience during modal interactions. Implemented a feature that defers non-blocking tasks, such as disabling body scroll and setting up escape key listeners, to the next animation frame using requestAnimationFrame. This approach allowed the modal to open more quickly by prioritizing showModal() and reducing blocking work on the main thread. Utilized TypeScript and front-end development techniques with an emphasis on performance optimization and web components, resulting in a more responsive interface and potential improvements in perceived load speed and engagement metrics.
