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 🙏

Node.js Interface to SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)

This is a set of bindings from libsane to node. libsane is a scanner access library used to access scanners on supported systems.

Installation

You will need libsane installed. Most Linux distributions have it available by default, or with a package like libsane-dev.

npm install node-sane

If you want to hack on the source code, you can get it from Github. Clone the repo like this:

$ git clone https://github.com/yjwong/node-sane.git

To compile the native code bindings, do this:

$ cd node-sane
$ node-pre-gyp configure build

Assuming it built without errors, you should be able to run the examples and then write your own scanner access programs.

Usage

There is currently no documentation for the moment. Feel free to contribute if you have some.

To use this library in your own program, sane.js and sane.node must be in NODE_PATH. npm takes care of this automatically.

var sane = require('node-sane');
sane.init();
