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 🙏

Generate video files from <canvas> animations in Node.js

Installation

npm install --save pellicola

Usage

This package provides a lightweight framework for generating animations with node-canvas and saving them as video files using ffmpeg.

const pellicola = require('pellicola')

function myAnimation () {
  // provide a function to draw video frames
  return function ({ context, width, height, playhead }) {
    context.fillStyle = '#0f0'
    context.fillRect(0, 0, width * playhead, height)
  }
}

const settings = {
  dimensions: [640, 360],   // video will be 640px wide by 360px tall
  duration: 2,              // video will last 2 seconds
  filename: 'my-sketch.mp4' // set custom filename for output video
}

pellicola(myAnimation, settings)
  .then(path => console.log('Done saving video file to:', path))
  // => Done saving video file to: /path/to/current-dir/my-sketch.mp4

Conceptually, pellicola uses the idea of the “sketch” that can be found in Processing and its Javascript cousin p5.js. The API tries to follow Matt DesLauriers’s canvas-sketch framework, which provides excellent tools for working on generative art with <canvas> in the web browser. The aim is to permit a sketch function developed using canvas-sketch to be re-used with pellicola with minimal adaptation.
