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 🙏

Quickstart

Web demo

The web demo is at https://alsenet-labs.github.io/mrz-scanner/dist/index.html (nothing is uploaded)

Web demo from filesystem

The code is "same-origin friendly". That means it can be run in the browser from the filesystem (no web server required), with eg:

Use the prebuilt static version

git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
xdg-open mrz-scanner/dist/index.html

Rebuild and run the static version

git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install
gulp dist
xdg-open dist/index.html

Web demo from web server

You can build the scripts, start a web server and open a browser, with eg:

git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm start

Command line tool

You can also scan documents from the command line using this repository or the latest published npm package. On success the result will be stored in a file suffixed by ".mrz.json" along the original image by default.

Using this repository

git clone https://github.com/alsenet-labs/mrz-scanner
cd mrz-scanner
npm install .
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir <directory> ] <png_or_jpg_or_tiff> [...]

Using the latest published npm package

npm install -g mrz-scanner
mrz2json [ -d|--dest-dir <directory> ] <jpg_or_png_or_tiff> [...]
