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

Macron is a framework that builds cutting-edge cross-platform desktop apps using plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript! Check the official site to learn more.

Macron uses existing software on the platform to draw windows alongside the system's native web engine to render static content.

Features

  • Cross-platform - Macron currently supports Windows only. The Linux version is currently under active development. If you are interested in collabaration, check out the Contributing section.
  • Fast - Speeds are unimaginable and run at close proximity with native apps.
  • Light - Excluding the installer, the bundled app gets a overhead of about 10MB with all the necessary files included.
  • Extendable - Macron is totally extendable with native modules. These native modules allow to be packaged with Macron.
  • Low RAM consumption - With the development of Macron in mind, we selectively took care of not making the same mistakes other similar frameworks made by runnning an entire browser instance every time a user runs an app. Performance can never be traded for expression.
  • Hybrid development - Working with native modules alongside your app makes it easier to present logic in the sense that you only use native modules when necessary.
  • System's web engine - On Windows, static HTML is rendered by Trident and Webkit on Linux and MacOS.
  • Native extensions - All common runtime modules are bundled with your app, including file-related functionalities, system and process activities amongst others.
  • Easy and simple - Creating Macron apps that don't utilize any extra modules is dead easy. In fact, a single config file runs your entire app.
