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 🙏

Properties

All properties are Date objects unless otherwise noted

  • sunrise When the upper edge of the Sun appears over the eastern horizon in the morning (0.833 degrees)

  • sunset When the upper edge of the Sun disappears below the horizon

  • civilDawn when there is enough light for objects to be distinguishable. This occurs when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the morning

  • nauticalDawn When there is enough sunlight for the horizon and some objects to be distinguishable. This occurs when the Sun is 12 degrees below the horizon in the morning

  • astronomicalDawn when the sky is no longer completely dark. This occurs when the Sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the morning

  • civilDusk When the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time objects are distinguishable and some stars and planets are visible to the naked eye.

  • nauticalDusk When the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time, objects are no longer distinguishable, and the horizon is no longer visible to the naked eye

  • astronomicalDusk When the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time the sun no longer illuminates the sky, and thus no longer interferes with astronomical observations

  • solarNoon When the sun transits the celestial meridian – roughly the time when it is highest above the horizon

  • lunarDistance (integer) the distance from the center of the eart to the center of the moon in kilometers

  • luminosty (number) the percentage of the moon that is illuminated in decimal form
