Describe the bug
When the API key is not set in the ENV file, the contributors page displays “No contributors found matching the search criteria.” However, earlier, it used to show some hardcoded placeholder data, allowing users to see sample contributors.
This change affects usability because new users might find an empty state confusing. It would be helpful to restore the default placeholder data in case the API is not set.
To Reproduce
Remove or do not set the API key in the ENV file.
Start the application and navigate to the Contributors page.
Observe that no contributors are displayed, and the message “No contributors found matching the search criteria” appears instead.
Expected behavior
If the API is not configured, the page should still display some default/hardcoded contributor data to improve UX.
Screenshots
Previously, this was the output

Reintroduce the default/hardcoded contributor data when the API key is missing.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
I am not getting any error in the terminal, but when I run the site without setting the API key in the ENV file (which contains the GitHub API token), the Contributors page shows ‘No contributors found matching the search criteria.’ Previously, it used to display hardcoded placeholder data, which helped new users understand the layout.
