Trim bio on index page before truncating

[jbampton]

Minor whitespace removed from a short bio at the end as seen in these two images. A little cleaner.

Code Review

This pull request updates the bio display in src/index.njk by applying a trim filter before truncation to ensure cleaner text output. A review comment points out that the conditional check {% if bio %} should also be updated to {% if bio | trim %} to prevent the UI from rendering empty quotes when the bio contains only whitespace.

[gemini-code-assist]

The current check {% if bio %} on line 48 evaluates to true for strings containing only whitespace. With the addition of the trim filter, such cases will now render as an empty pair of quotes ("") within a <p> tag, creating unnecessary vertical space and a minor UI glitch. It is recommended to update the condition on line 48 to {% if bio | trim %} to ensure the bio section only renders when there is actual content.

Code Review

This pull request introduces the trim filter to the bio field in src/index.njk to ensure cleaner formatting within quotes. Feedback suggests increasing the truncation limit to 300 to better align with the CSS line-clamping and recommends trimming the bio before the existence check to prevent rendering empty quotes for whitespace-only strings.

[gemini-code-assist]

Adding the trim filter is a good improvement to ensure the quotes wrap the content tightly. However, there are two points to consider:

1. Truncation vs. Line-clamp: Using truncate(120) alongside line-clamp-3 is often counter-productive. On most screens, 120 characters will only fill 1-2 lines, leaving the third line empty and making the CSS clamp redundant. Increasing the limit (e.g., to 300) allows the CSS to handle the truncation more responsively across different screen sizes while still providing a safety limit for very long bios.
2. Whitespace-only strings: If bio contains only whitespace (e.g., " "), the {% if bio %} check on line 48 will pass, but bio | trim will be empty, resulting in empty quotes "" being rendered. Ideally, the bio should be trimmed before the truthiness check on line 48.
