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 🙏

List of function words for different languages.

Readme

Function Words

Compilation of function words in different languages, with some access methods in JavaScript / CoffeeScript. As of this writing, only English function words are listed.

While the lists aspire to be exhaustive, language is far too squishy for that. As such, contributions are welcome, encouraged, and occasionally begged for.

Install

npm install fwords

Usage

fwords is just an object with keys for each supported language (as a two-character code like "en" for English), and therein, keys for each functional category. Specifically:

  • aux: auxiliary verbs
  • conj: conjunctions
  • det: determiners
  • prep: prepositions
  • pron: pronouns
  • quant: quantifiers

In CoffeeScript:

fwords = require 'fwords'
console.log fwords.en.aux
> ['be able to', 'can', 'could', 'dare', 'had better', 'have to', 'may', 'might', 'must', 'need to', 'ought', 'ought to', 'shall', 'should', 'used to', 'will', 'would']

Acknowledgments

Thanks to the efforts of Leah Gilner and Franc Morales at Sequence Publishing for listing English function words! N.B. I did some minor editing to help machines parse the lists more easily, ex: "1, 2, 3, 4, etc." -> "\d+"
