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 🙏

About

What does it do?

You give it a list of elements and it will try to predict when a user is about to mouse over one of those elements.

How does it work?

It's pretty naive, it just looks at the velocity and position of the mouse and tries to find the element that you are probably moving towards based on that.

Is it just a voronoi?

It uses a voronoi under the hood, but instead if looking at current mouse position it looks at expected mouse position. In my testing this seems strictly better than the voronoi / bubble cursor technique.

Why do I want this?

You could use it to perform some optimizations, maybe similar to instantclick.

Whats with the name?

The library has these premonitions, but they aren't always right.

Installation

$ npm install premonish

Usage

import Premonish from 'premonish';
const premonish = new Premonish({
  selectors: ['a', '.list-of' '.selectors', '.to', '#watch'],
  elements: [] // Alternatively, provide a list of DOM elements to watch
});

premonish.onIntent(({el, confidence}) => {
  console.log(el); // The DOM node we suspect the user is about to interact with.
  console.log(confidence); // How confident are we about the user's intention? Scale 0-1
});

API

Initialization

var premonish = new Premonish({
  selectors: [], // list of selectors
  elements: [] // A list of DOM elements
});

At least one of selectors or elements is required.

Predicting interaction

The onIntent callback will be called when premonish thinks that a user is likely going to interact with one of the watched elements.

premonish.onIntent(({el, confidence}) => {
  // el is the expected DOM element
  // confidence is a score from 0-1 on how confident we are in this prediction.
});

More information

The onMouseMove callback allows users to look at some of the internal calculations that premonish is making.

premonish.onMouseMove(({ position, velocity, expected }) => {
  // Each value is an object { x: number, y: number }.
  // `expected` is the approximate point premonish thinks the
  // user is moving the mouse to.
});

Stop watching

Call stop() when you are done using the library to cleanup the events it is using.

premonish.stop();
