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 🙏

Klara

The bridge between assets in design systems stored in UXPin and your development environment!

Klara is a tool for downloading and managing assets (icons, illustrations...) stored in a design systems created in UXPin app (http://uxpin.com). Klara allows users to download assets and transform them into Icon Fonts, PNGs and SVG and PNG Sprites.

Mission

UXPin is on the mission to merge design and development into one, smooth, collaborative process.

Klara is a small step into connecting design and development. Thanks to this simple tool any team can manage assets, such as icons, through a visual interface of a design editor (UXPin) and seamlessly connect it to the git repository

How to Start?

npm install klara

Upon the launch Klara is going to ask couple of questions to build a config file (JSON stored in the local directory from which Klara has been launched). The first question (the most important one!) is about the link to a design system stored in UXPin. Klara accepts two kinds of links:

  • Link to a design system data JSON file (available in setting of your design system in UXPin). UXPin makes all the data in the design system available as a JSON file stored on UXPin servers and automatically kept up to date.
  • Link to a design system stored in UXPin.

Subsequently, Klara is going to ask about transformations of assets. The choices of:

  • Conversion of SVGs to Icon Fonts
  • Conversion of SVGs to PNGs
  • Conversion of SVGs to SVG Sprites
  • Conversion of PNGs to PNG Sprites

Select the options that you want to use by pressing space bar. Pressing enter will save your answer and move you to the next question.

Next, Klara is going to ask you questions about the file formats and additional configurations of the file transformations of your choice.

Asset Updates

Whenever an asset (e.g. an icon) in a design system is being changed (added, deleted or modified in any way), launching Klara will cause an update of this changed asset only and regeneration of common transformation files (e.g. sprites or icon font files).

PNG Conversion – Warning

Conversion of SVG files to PNG files requires a lot of computing resources. Use with caution on larger libraries. FYI: Klara has been tested multiple times with a library of over 1000 icons stored in 10 categories.
