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 🙏

crazycode

An encoding like base64 and base58 that looks cooler. Like base64, base64, hex, octal, etc. crazycode is an encoding that turns binary data into text and vice-versa. The main difference is that crazycode is way cooler!

    Hex:    8262d0c3f0d78c73e007
    Base64: gmLQw/DXjHPgBw==
    crazy:  ӻվƕɇʃɽѫӟʝπ

crazycode will output the same number of characters as there are bytes in the input. When encoded UTF-8, the output will have at most twice the number of bytes as the input. Crazycode (unlike hex and base64) cannot be encoded using non-unicode encodings.

crazycode will work in most browsers and most terminals. In most browsers and editors, crazycode output will be considered as a single word and double clicking should select all of the text.

selecting

Examples

Input:  [1,2,3,4,5]
Hex:    0102030405
Base64: AQIDBAU=
crazy:  χіȼрд

Input:  [100,33,42,209,87]
Hex:    64212ad157
Base64: ZCEq0Vc=
crazy:  їϗσկȣ

Input: (32 random bytes)
Hex:    8262d0c3f0d78c73e00770f68b6f94abe5153d696074e5f755bd7497351675c6
Base64: gmLQw/DXjHPgB3D2i2+Uq+UVPWlgdOX3Vb10lzUWdcY=
crazy:  ӻվƕɇʃɽѫӟʝπԧnjбhџljжոɛɱӈҳжçκքҳѭաҥɀv

Notes

crazycode will fail to output correctly if the destination (e.g. the console) does not support unicode (e.g. the Windows cmd console by default).

crazycode (like base64, base58, and hex) does not make the data smaller. It will in practice result in data that is way bigger than the source data. The output, however, will look shorter than base64, base58, or hex (see examples below). All of the characters used in crazycode are letters or numbers, so crazycode output can usually be selected in its entirety by double clicking it. Furthermore there are 256 possible characters for crazycode so the output will have the same number of characters that the input has bytes.

Using crazycode

How to use:

const { encode, decode } = require('crazycode');

const input = [1,2,3,4,5];
const encoded = encode(input);

// outputs: χіȼрд
console.log(encoded);

const decoded = decode(encoded);

// outputs: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
console.log(decoded);

Functions

There are two functions: encode and decode

Encode

encode takes an array or Buffer and returns a string. If it's an array it expects the array to contain numbers between 0 and 255. If the input contains invalid data an exception will be thrown.

Example:

const input = [1,2,3,4,5];
const encoded = encode(input);

// outputs: χіȼрд
console.log(encoded);

Decode

decode takes a string and returns an array. If the input contains unacceptable characters an exception will be thrown.

Example:

const input = 'χіȼрд';
const decoded = decode(input);

// outputs: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
console.log(decoded);
