Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

nsw-oeh-beachwatch-geojson

The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) publishes a JSON feed of swimming suitability as part of Beachwatch, this project aims to make that feed more developer friendly.

You can either build this application into your own pipeline or use the hosted URL at https://www.beyondtracks.com/contrib/nsw-oeh-beachwatch.geojson (no service availability guarantees!).

NSW OEH Beachwatch Data is © State of New South Wales and Office of Environment and Heritage 2018. Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

Where is it used?

This pipeline has been built for www.beyondtracks.com to provide information about water quality of swimming spots along bushwalks.

Features

  • Access-Control-Allow-Origin Header The upstream feed lacks the this header meaning web applications aren't able to use the feed directly. The sample crontab file allows you to reduce and host the Beachwatch data and serve it with your own HTTP server to add this header. This issue was reported to OEH on the 24th Nov 2015 with the reply that they will follow up with their digital strategy people and will advise once they have responded.
  • Drop unneeded or duplicate properties
  • Coordinate Precision Practically beach markers won't be more than 10m in accuracy so limiting to 4 decimal places will suffice.
  • Unpack Overloaded fields The upstream feed overloads properties into the Categories field. These key value is exploded out to make it easier to read in applications.

Usage

Install the Node dependencies with:

yarn install

Run the script with:

./bin/nsw-oeh-beachwatch-geojson nsw-oeh-beachwatch.geojson

This will download the upstream feed, process it and save the resulting GeoJSON file at nsw-oeh-beachwatch.geojson.

Warranty

The use of information in the Beachwatch feed can affect peoples health. Errors or omissions may be present and/or the upstream supplied data structure may change without any notice causing issues. Use at your own risk.
