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

HotSet 2p-set

Hotset is a 2 phase-set, meaning that it keeps hot and cold (tombstone) sets for allowing commutitive removal of elements. The cold set is a separate structure that is only ever accessed in writing to the set. The read operations look at the hot set only.

Implementation details

The 2p-set datastructure uses persistant Hash-array mapped tries as its underlying storage. This gives us some properties that are very well suited for CRDTs.

A HAMT in the case of a set basically takes the hash of the element you add, and selects in which branch to go based on the digits in the hash, branching out 32 way. If the spot is already taken, a new HAMT is hung on to the previous one, containing both elements.

This gives us x things

Persistance

Adds to the set does not invalidate the old data, and references to it can be kept in memory and used. Adding simply creates a new set, that share most structure with the old one'. These structures can also be persisted to ipfs, and you'll get a hash reference

Cheap merging

Merging is as easy as just walking the branches of the root, looking at which ones changed, you only need to merge the branches that actually differ.

Commutivity

Adds to the set actually commute, so that no matter in which order you insert the elements, you will end up with the same structure in memory, you will even get the same hash when persisting! This is a big deal for state-based CRDTS, which usually have the additional problem of providing deltas over the state. Using persistent merkle-trees eliminates this problem completely, as you'll always only have to share the root state in the first transaction, and later parts of the tree can be lazily requested.

Example

var async = require('async')
var ipfs = require('ipfs-api')('localhost', 5001)
var ipo = require('ipfs-obj')(ipfs)
var HotSet = require('ipo-hotset')(ipo)

var elements = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

async.reduce(elements, new HotSet(), function (memo, n, cb) {
  memo.add(n, cb)
}, function (err, res) {
  if (err) throw err

  res.all(function (err, res) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(res) // => [ 1, 0, 3, 4, 2 ]
  })

  res.persist(function (err, res) {
    if (err) throw err
    console.log(res) // => QmUgyN8eaRUuenjkveQVz47gbwKRXGkkWzG5dXPW12UESV
  })
})
