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

i9n

i9n, aka i18nization, is a library that allows one to ruin text by replacing all internal characters with a number denoting how many characters were replaced.

As an example, the above paragraph has been i9n'd:

i1n, a1a i9n, i0s a-1a l5y t2t a4s o1e t0o r2n t2t b0y r7g a1l i6l c8s w2h a-1a n4r d6g h1w m2y c8s w2e r6d.

Which is obviously much more readable, as it saves you time from having to read all of those pesky middle characters.

usage

Simply require i9n and you're ready to ruin some text. Literally:

const i9n = require('i9n');

let ruinedText = i9n.ruin('this text is far too slow to read and write.');

console.log(ruinedText);
// t2s t2t i0s f1r t1o s2w t0o r2d a1d w3e.

If you only want to see one word that has been made more efficient, you can use the i9n function by itself:

const i9n = require('i9n');

console.log(i9n.i9n('internationalization'));
// i18n

Go have some fun! Err, rather, G0o h2e s2e f1n!
