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 🙏

volto-navigation-dropdown-oblique

One of three versions of a Volto website navigation dropdown menu prototype. This and one other version have significant flaws but help convey some issues we're attempting to resolve. The main branch of the source code repository and a corresponding npm module has the working prototype which capably implements most of the intended functionality.

At initial release the new Plone 6 Volto frontend comes without comprehensive site navigation - the navigation menu includes entries for only the top-level pages. This is a critical lack for some kinds of websites, particularly the kind that I'm working on. The repository for this addon holds code that provides the missing navigation functionality. The main branch holds the basically functional version and this branch (oblique) and another (stubborn) has versions with problematic flaws.

This "oblique" version provides a dropdown menu that arises on mouse hover (on the desktop, you have to click on mobile). It has two primary problems:

  1. Clicking on the menu entry for a container doesn't visit it. Instead, you have to click on a redundant entry for the container that is included at the top of the menu for its contents. This is a workable arrangement once you're familiar with it, but it is bound to be confusing for many visitors, it is awkward in practice, and it will prevent some visitors from navigating the site.

  2. The highlight that indicates that a container is on the path of the currently-visited page doesn't work for the top-level navbar entries (except when the menu for that item is open). People typically depend on the navbar to provide that cue.

This Plone 6 Volto frontend addon is available as an npm package: @myriadicity/volto-navigation-dropdown-oblique
