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 🙏

Instagram Id To URL Segment

Build Status NPM version NPM license

Instagram has 2 types of IDs that they use for their posts. One is used in the URLs (it looks like 5n7dDmhTr3) and the other is used internally in their undocumented API (it looks like 1038059720608660215).

I didn't think that they would maintain 2 unrelated IDs for each post, just for the purpose of a shorter URL, so I investigated whether or not they were related. It turns out you can convert between them pretty easily (especially in languages where we don't represent integers as floats - like Python).

Usage

Note: the id must be passed in as a string. If it was passed as a number then it would be severely rounded.

CoffeeScript

{instagramIdToUrlSegment, urlSegmentToInstagramId} = require 'instagram-id-to-url-segment'
console.log(instagramIdToUrlSegment('1038059720608660215')) # 5n7dDmhTr3
console.log(urlSegmentToInstagramId('5n7dDmhTr3')) # 1038059720608660215

JavaScript

var ref, urlSegmentToInstagramId, instagramIdToUrlSegment;
ref = require('instagram-id-to-url-segment')
instagramIdToUrlSegment = ref.instagramIdToUrlSegment
urlSegmentToInstagramId = ref.urlSegmentToInstagramId;

console.log(instagramIdToUrlSegment('1038059720608660215')); // 5n7dDmhTr3
console.log(urlSegmentToInstagramId('5n7dDmhTr3')); // 1038059720608660215
