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

JDiff.js

JavaScript adaptation of JojoDiff by Joris Heirbaut. For more information and to see the API, see the JojoDiff project page on SourceForge. The project is written in C++, then cross-compiled through Emscripten so it can be used by any JavaScript client.

JojoDiff is great because it generates linear patch files, which can be applied in a very memory-efficient manner. We're using this in janpatch - a patching library for embedded systems that can run in very little memory. This allows us to bring delta updates to even the smallest devices. Having JojoDiff available as a JavaScript library makes it easier to integrate in our build tools.

Currently the library is only available as CLI application, but it'll be adapted into a proper library at some point in the near future.

Usage

  1. Install a recent version of Node.js.

  2. Install the project:

    $ npm install jdiff -g
  3. Use the application:

    $ jdiff ./file1 ./file2 ./patch-file

Compiling

  1. Install the Emscripten SDK and make sure emcc is in your PATH.

  2. Clone this repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/janjongboom/jdiff-js
  3. Build the project:

    $ cd src
    $ make js
  4. Run the project:

    $ node ../jdiff.js
