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 🙏

Append It Word List

A built-in word list for word games.

Why?

I have a word game project written in Javascript. The hardest part of the project is finding a good word list that contains enough words to use in a word game. This task takes a lot of time and makes me feel boring. Without the list, my game can't be played, so I had to do that boring task and collected a good word list. I converted it into a Javascript module so I can use it for later projects. Anyone who hates that boring task can use this too.

What?

This list contains about 28.000 English words. It's not perfect, but it can save your time. You use the list through BuiltInWordList object.

How?

The main actor of the module is BuiltInWordList.

Methods

| Name | Parameters | Returns | Description | | -------- | ----------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | has | word - string | boolean | Check if the word is in the list, ignore case-sensitive | | random | | string | Get a random word from the list |

Example

import BuiltInWordList from "builtinwordlist";

BuiltInWordList.has("good"); // true
BuiltInWordList.has("distroi"); // false

const randomWord = BuiltInWordList.random();
