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 🙏

About

Links are used to help users navigate to new sections, pages or websites. Links have default, hover and selected states which provide visual cues to help the user interact with them or identify visited pages.

Usage

The label of a link should describe clearly the destination of the link. It should make sense to the user with little or no need to check other elements for context. Avoid non descriptive labels such as “click here” and “read more”.

Consider a user who scans through the content or uses a screen reader, how much information can they get from the link’s description alone? Use this principle as a guideline to create more descriptive links.

Avoid opening links in a new tab or window. It can be disorienting and can cause accessibility issues for people who cannot visually perceive that the new tab has opened.

When to use

Links should be used to help a user navigate to pages, sections or external websites.

When not to use

Links should not be used to initiate actions, change or manipulate data. Use vf-button instead for such actions.
