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 🙏

A tooltip library in CSS for your lovely websites

Demo • Get started • Who's using this? • Browser support • FAQs • Contributing • License

hint.css is written as a pure CSS resource using which you can create cool accessible tooltips for your web app. It does not rely on JavaScript but rather uses aria-label/data-* attribute, pseudo elements, content property and CSS3 transitions to create the tooltips. Also it uses BEM naming convention particularly for the modifiers.

Get Started

Get the library using one of the following ways:

  1. GitHub

Full build

  • [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.css
  • [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.min.css

Base build (Does not include color themes and fancy effects)

  • [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.css
  • [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.min.css

  1. Bower : bower install hint.css

  2. npm: npm install --save hint.css

  3. CDN: https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/hint.css or https://cdnjs.com/libraries/hint.css

Now include the library in the HEAD tag of your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="hint.css" />

or

<link rel="stylesheet" href="hint.min.css" />

Now, all you need to do is give your element any position class and tooltip text using the aria-label attribute. Note, if you don't want to use aria-label attribute, you can also specify the tooltip text using the data-hint attribute, but its recommended to use aria-label in support of accessibility. Read more about aria-label.

Hello Sir, <span class="hint--bottom" aria-label="Thank you!">hover me.</span>

Use it with other available modifiers in various combinations. Available modifiers:

  • Colors - hint--error, hint--info, hint--warning, hint--success
  • Sizes - hint--small, hint--medium, hint--large, hint--fit
  • hint--always
  • hint--rounded
  • hint--no-animate
  • hint--bounce
  • hint--no-arrow
  • hint--no-shadow

Upgrading from v1.x

If you are already using v1.x, you may need to tweak certain position classes because of the way tooltips are positioned in v2.

Changing the prefix for class names

Don't like BEM naming (hint--) or want to use your own prefix for the class names?

Simply update src/hint-variables.scss and change the $hintPrefix variable. To generate the css file, please read the contributing page.
