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 🙏

#Paper Boy Routes!

This is a simple routing system for non-shitty browsers. That is browsers that support addEventListener and window.location.hash. It doesn't use fancy push-state yet, but it does use hash tags.

It's not very good, but you can check it out. The defining feature is the ability to have enter and exit routes defined. You should probably use https://github.com/millermedeiros/crossroads.js

##Install

jam install paper-boy
// Assuming RequireJS
// It doesn't have to be used with require
define(function(require){
  var
    PaperBoy = require('paper-boy')
  , router   = new PaperBoy({
      // Paper Boy has enter and exit routes
      "": {
        enter: function(){
          console.log("Welcome to the home page!");
        }
      , exit: function(){
          console.log("Hope to see you back at the home page soon!");
        }
      }
      // Or if you just want an enter route, don't pass in an obj
    , "some/thing/else": function(){
        // Access the instantiated router object via:
        this._router.navigate("weeeee"); // Redirect to weeeee
      }
      // Standard variables
    , "users/:userId/profiles/:profileType": function(userId, profileType){
        console.log("User:", userId, "Profile:", profileType);
      }
      // Paper Boy enter and exit routes share their 'this' objects
    , "weeeee": {
        enter: function(){
          this.hello = "Hello World!!!";
        }
      , exit: function(){
          console.log(this.hello); // "Hello World!!!"
        }
      }
    });
  ;
  router.listen();
});

##Hey, this doesn't work in Internet Explorer!

I don't give a damn.
