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 🙏

Screencast

market-faker provides simulated financial market data.

Motivation

Legitimate external sources for financial instruments can incur problems related to API key expiry, restrictive hours of availability, data limits, service downtime, and fees.

Usage

yarn add market-faker
import market from 'market-faker'

const foo = market({
  name: 'Foobar PLC',
  opening: 1271.1,
})

console.log(foo.snapshot.sell)
// -> 1271.2

foo.subscribe(market => {
  console.log(market.sell)
  // -> 1270.6
})

Characteristics of a Market

  • Prices tick at random intervals
  • Only the properties that have changed come back in the subscribe handlers
  • The initial market properties are available as market.snapshot
  • buy price and sell price are a small but random distance apart. They start either side of the opening
  • change is the difference from the buy and the opening
  • changePercentage shows the change as a percentage of the opening
  • high is the maximum a buy price has been
  • low is the lowest the sell price has been
  • Historical data for any existing property of the market can be specified with a history object. e.g. The following would include the last 3 buy prices in the subscribable data:
const foo = market({
  name: 'Foobar PLC',
  opening: 1271.1,
  history: {
    buy: 3,
  },
})

foo.subscribe(market => {
  console.log(market.history.buy)
  // -> [1270.6, 1271.1, 1269.3]
})
