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 🙏

Why use Generate Avatar?

A lightweight and blazing fast avatar generator, which is 100% fingerprinted and unique for any input you want.

Pass in your email, uuid, username etc. as an input and it will generate everytime the same unique svg based avatar for you.

Which means you don't have to store any generated images in your database anymore. It generates those images on the fly wherever you want based on the id, email and so on.

The best thing it's only 5 kB small, so it can be basically used everywhere you want.

Install

  yarn add generate-avatar

or

  npm install generate-avatar

How it works

You pass in the string you want and it will return the svg in a string format:

  import { generateFromString } from 'generate-avatar'

  generateFromString("[email protected]")

This will generate the svg in a string format. In order to use it, you can use the image data src attribute like this:

<img src={`data:image/svg+xml;utf8,${generateFromString("[email protected]")}`} />

Try it out here and download the image. You will see that it generates the exact same image everytime. Isn't that amazing ?
