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 🙏

Modern Favicons

Generates a set of favicons from an SVG file that will satisfy the needs of most modern web projects.

Inspired by https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/how-to-favicon-in-2021-six-files-that-fit-most-needs and https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/favicons-in-2021.

This tool operates under the assumption that you are running Node 14+ and that the provided SVG file is square (same height and width).

This tool does not generate the legacy masked Safari icon described in the aforementioned articles. If you absolutely need legacy Safari masked icon support, create it manually and place it in the public directory yourself.

Install

npm i -D modern-favicons
# or
yarn add -D modern-favicons

Usage

  1. Generate the icons to your project's public directory using the CLI command. Run the command without options to see a full list of options. Skip this step if you plan on automating this by adding pre scripts to your package.json.
npx generate-favicons [...options]
# or
yarn exec -- generate-favicons [...options]
  1. Add these to the document head.
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon-48.png" type="image/png" />
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.svg" type="image/svg+xml" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/favicon-apple-touch.png" />
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
  1. Add a file to your project's public directory called manifest.json. Copy this into the file contents.
{
  "icons": [
    { "src": "/favicon-192.png", "type": "image/png", "sizes": "192x192" },
    { "src": "/favicon-512.png", "type": "image/png", "sizes": "512x512" }
  ]
}
  1. Add pre script entries to package.json for development and build processes.
{
  "scripts": {
    "predev": "npx generate-favicons --source images/favicon.svg --destination ./public",
    "prebuild": "npx generate-favicons --source images/favicon.svg --destination ./public"
  }
}
  1. Add these entries to .gitignore to exclude the generated favicons.
/public/*.png
/public/*.ico
/public/*.svg
