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 🙏

Readme

Discus

Discus is a series of convenience and safety extensions on BackBone, along with some optional opinionated design paterns.

Features

  • View parenting with garbage collection
  • Automatic template rendering with template data helper methods
  • State driven template selection
  • Automatic child view attachment by selector
  • Advanced ListView
    • Asyncronous rendering for responsiveness
    • Sparse view rendering for massive data sets
  • Convenience methods
  • Warnings on missed paterns, like unparented subviews or double removing views

Purpose

Discus is designed to be somewhere between the heavy handed framework of Marionette and the near unusable genericness of BackBone. Discus aims to bring a bit of structure needed for scaling pure BackBone apps in to massive applications. It focuses on DRYing out repeat paterns, garbage collection, developer convenience and developer safety.
