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 🙏

Purchasing Power Parity

Build Status

Not everyone is able to pay for the default pricings of the western world. Online products should be made affordable for everyone around the world. This package is a simple way to make Purchasing Power Parity available in your browser. See how it could look like in your application for someone buying your product from another country:

How to use it?

Install:

npm install purchasing-power-parity

Use:

import fetchPPP from 'purchasing-power-parity';

let originalPrice = 99.99;
let discountPrice;

fetchPPP().then(response => {
  discountPrice = response.ppp.pppConversionFactor * originalPrice;
});

If you don't want to use this library, you can also use the API directly where you are able to pass the country code yourself. Otherwise, this library will figure out the location of the user itself.

After all, you can adjust your prices when the pppConversionFactor goes below 1 and add an optional banner for your customers to make them aware of it. What other information is in the returned PPP object?

ppp-object:

{
  countryCodeIsoAlpha2: 'ID',
  countryName: 'Indonesia',
  currenciesCountry: [ { code: 'IDR', name: 'Indonesian rupiah', symbol: 'Rp' } ],
  countryCodeIsoAlpha3: 'IDN',
  currencyMain:
   { exchangeRate: 14188,
     code: 'IDR',
     name: 'Indonesian rupiah',
     symbol: 'Rp' },
  ppp: 4242.36,
  pppConversionFactor: 0.299010431350437
}

The currencyMain.exchangeRate and ppp property are used to compute the pppConversionFactor.

Limitations

  • runs only in the browser
  • takes only USD as baseline

Who uses PPP?

This node package was inspired by Wes Bos who sells his courses with PPP. There are other people which make their products affordable to everyone around the world by using PPP. You can add your project/company/product/service/... to the list when you are using this package:

Contribution

The project is in an early stage, so please feel free to contribute to it. It works, but it could be more robust and improved. If you want to know how PPP works, you can read up this short article. I would love to see you contributing to it:
