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 🙏

Readme

htm-js

This is an ongoing (WIP) javascript implementation of the Hierarchical Triangular Mesh (HTM) method used to index the sphere.

It was a system developed by Szalay, et al., (https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0701164.pdf)

and was first used as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.(http://www.skyserver.org/htm/)

There have been a couple of implementations of HTM algorithms and functions by the authors over time. Including C, Java, and the most update current implementation C#.

However, at the time of this commit, (and to my knowledge) there are no publicly available ports of this system to javascript, which can be easily run on a modern web browser.

##Structure of the code The package source lives in 'modules'. It is split up into two folders, 'core' and 'utils'

core

The code in 'core' is meant to be a direct copy of HTM code and functionality as it exists in current and past implementations of the original authors of HTM. It is currently a WIP and only basic functionality is implemented for now, but these functions are meant to be equivalent to the functions written in the java version of HTM developed by William O'Mullane. It is not the most current C# version but it is clean and concise and also my strongest language, and optimizations that work in C# are not likely to work in javascript anyway.

utils

Code in utils is meant to be tools or functions that utilize HTM functionality in some way but were not originally part of HTM core functionality.

For more details on what HTM is and what it is/can be used for, please see the publication by the authors ((https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0701164.pdf)) and its website (http://www.skyserver.org/htm/)
