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 🙏

json-to-svg-to-pdf

This is a silly module we wrote to generate business cards. As a result, consider this module very YMMV. (Spoiler alert: the code is intentionally dense for use as a refactoring exercise.)

To use this yourself:

  1. Define two SVG templates in template/front.svg and template/back.svg with whatever mustache template strings you like (e.g. {{fullName}})
  2. Create a JSON/CSON for each person in input/ (e.g. input/justin.cson) that defines those mustache attribute names
  3. Run json-to-svg-to-pdf

What you'll get is, for each input file, a pair of font-embedded PDFs in output/ (e.g. output/justin-front.pdf and output/justin-back.pdf).

Prerequisites

The PDF generation relies on librsvg's rsvg-convert being on your path.

To install it on a Mac with homebrew, run brew install librsvg.

TODO

The glaring limitation currently is the code assumes you have exactly two templates defined for each input. It could be complicated/improved to discover 1…n templates and follow the same naming pattern
