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 🙏

Powerful, lower-level drag & drop library that doesn't directly touch the DOM

Readme

Finesse-Dnd

This is a work in progress. The primary reason this library exists is to power a drag-n-drop visual programming UI (inspired by Google Blockly and Scratch). I will continue to polish this library up as I work on that project, and hope to release a battle-tested v1.0 later this year.

Design goals

  • Decouple drag operations from the DOM, as many modern JavaScript frameworks assume that the DOM never holds any state. Integration with libraries such as Mithril and React should be seamless.
  • Provide very fine-grained control with as friendly an API as possible
  • Avoid HTML5 Drag n Drop, as it has some severe limitations.

Notes

Optimized APIs for common drag-n-drop interactions such as list items than can be reordered, etc are not provided out of the box. They can be implemented without too much difficulty. If you are building a more specialized drag-n-drop UI, this libray may work welll for you. Keep in mind that is a work in progress, and needs some polishing and performance optimizing.

See the demo app for a basic example. I will add API documentation as the project stabilizes.
