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 🙏

Early stages of development, please prepare for large amounts of changes until version 1.0.0.

A small natural language generator. Makes words reads goods.

Phraser allows you to construct sentences using a syntax similar to sentence syntax trees, and render these to arrays of strings. Right now the development focus is on the lowest layer of language generation, which allows sentences to be defined by their sentence structure. This enforces basic grammar rules about valid word orders, pluralisation, verb tense / aspect / person / number and simple punctuation.

Use Foxtype to help visualise sentences in terms of their structure.

Over time this will be supported by lexicons so irregular verbs and pluralisations don't have to be manually provided. Then all this will form a solid base for a second layer of opinionated sentence constructors that will be able to take data and output sentence structures.

Example usage

import {Constituent} from 'phraser';
const {Sentence, Clause, NP, PP, VP} = Constituent(Lexicon);

const sentence = Sentence(
    Clause(
        NP("dog").quantity(3).determiner("those"),
        VP("ate", NP("food")).adverb("quickly", "middle")
    ).modifier(
        PP("from", NP("trash can").a().adjective("huge"))
    )
);

console.log(sentence.renderString());

// outputs "Those 3 dogs quickly ate food from a huge trash can."
