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 🙏

FAQ

What is functionstein?

Functionstein is a collection of functions tailored to my needs. I use it inside quite a few projects, where I need some helper functions, but don't want to add the footprint of lodash or similar libraries.

Should I use this?

Short Answer: Probably not!

Long Answer: You technically could, but it is pretty likely that functionstein wont fit your needs and you are better off with another library like Lodash or Ramda. functionsteins collection of functions might seem rather random at times and I don't give any guarantees about the implementation of each function.

However if you are working on a small project and functionstein fits you can use it ofcourse. For anything that goes to production I would recommend one of the aforementioned libraries or to create a personal fork of functionstein.

Isn't there anything better that we could do with this name?

Absolutely. I really liked the name when it came to my mind and it still seems to fit the purpose of this library. Nothing is set in stone, though. If you have a great library idea that would fit the name better and would be more useful to others I would definitely be open to switch the purpose of the lib. Just hit me up and open an issue where we could discuss this.
