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 🙏

CSS Colorguard

Every CSS project starts out with good intentions, but inevitably, one too many people eye-dropper colors into nooks and crannies that you never knew existed. CSS Colorguard helps you maintain the color set that you want, and warns you when colors you've added are too similar to ones that already exist. Naturally, it's all configurable to your tastes.

How it works

Colorguard uses the CIEDE2000 algorithm to determine the similarity of each of the colors in your CSS file. This algorithm is quite complex, but is used in the broadcasting community as the best approximation of human ability to discern differences in color. RGB on the other hand, is pretty bad at representing differences in color purely based on the numerical difference of the hex values.

Luckily, someone else already implemented CIEDE2000, so I didn't have to. Tight. Cause this thing is mathy as hell.

Alpha Transparency

Currently, alpha transparency is just stripped from the colors. So rgb(0, 0, 0) exactly matches rgba(0,0,0,0.5). This is usually fine unless someone is alphatransparency-happy and uses it for darkening and lightening colors too often. It could probably be its own check in the future that there aren't too many different alpha transparencies of the same color. This is not currently a thing though.

API

colorguard.process(css, [options]).then(function(result) {})

options

ignore

Type: array

Specify hex codes of colors that you would like to ignore completely. Use with caution.

threshold

Type: number Default: 3

0 through 100. Lower values are more precise; the default is 3 but that's mostly personal opinion.

whitelist

Type: array

Pass an array of color pairs to ignore:

[['#000000', '#010101']]
allowEquivalentNotation

Type: boolean Default: false

By default, colorguard will complain if identical colors are represented with different notations. For example, #000, #000000, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0), and black. If you want to permit these equivalent notations, set this option to true.

postcss([ colorguard(opts) ])

CSS Colorguard can be consumed as a PostCSS plugin. See the documentation for examples for your environment.

Build Time

CSS Colorguard can be used in conjunction with other javascript build systems, such as:

CLI

CSS Colorguard also ships with a CLI app. To see the available options, just run:

$ colorguard --help

Install

With npm, to get the command do:

npm install -g colorguard

To get the library & PostCSS plugin, do:

npm install colorguard
