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 🙏

Readme

tng

A full-featured PNG renderer for the terminal, built for blessed.

Convert any .png file (or .gif, see below) to an ANSI image and display it as an element or ANSI text.

Blessed uses an internal from-scratch PNG reader because no other javascript PNG reader supports Adam7 interlaced images (much less pass the png test suite).

The blessed PNG reader supports adam7 deinterlacing, animation (APNG), all color types, bit depths 1-32, alpha, alpha palettes, and outputs scaled bitmaps (cellmaps) in blessed for efficient rendering to the screen buffer. It also uses some code from libcaca/libcucul to add density ASCII characters in order to give the image more detail in the terminal.

.gif files are also supported via a javascript implementation (they are internally converted to bitmaps and fed to the PNG renderer). Any other image format is support only if the user has imagemagick (convert and identify) installed.

Example

var tng = require('tng');

var img = tng(process.env.HOME + '/helloworld.png', {
  // less memory on animation (handle blending and dispose while rendering):
  optimization: 'mem',
  // add ascii characters for more detail (similar to libcaca):
  ascii: true,
  // scale cellmap to 20%:
  scale: 0.20,
  // OR:
  // ensure a width of 30 cells, maintains aspect ratio:
  // width: 30,
  // OR:
  // ensure a height of 10 cells, maintains aspect ratio:
  // height: 10
});

if (img.frames) {
  img.play(function render(bmp, cellmap) {
    // Executed on each frame:
    var ansi = img.renderANSI(cellmap);
    process.stdout.write('\x1b[H\x1b[J');
    process.stdout.write(ansi + '\n');
  });
  setTimeout(function() {
    img.pause();
    setTimeout(function() {
      img.play();
    }, 2000);
  }, 3000);
} else {
  var ansi = img.renderANSI(img.cellmap);
  process.stdout.write(ansi + '\n');
}
