Description

Hi everyone!

It would be nice to change the header of the Community page. Currently, it only shows the username:

The idea would be to use instead the real name of the user (if available). But first, the Dart package needs to be updated: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-dart/issues/1184

Then, once a new version of the package is released, change the header to (depending of the time of the day):

  • Welcome xx
  • Good morning xx
  • Good afternoon xx
  • Good night xx

Contributor guide

Research direction
First update the openfoodfacts dart package to support retrieving the user's real name, then modify the Community page header to display a time based greeting using the real name if available.
