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 🙏

RandomFriendlyPhrase

A utility to generate randomized, human-readable, worksafe phrases in a large space with good defaults. Useful for temporary user names or room names.

/**
 * Returns randomized, human-readable, worksafe phrase. e.g. 'TremendousSpangleFreezer' 
 * 
 * Useful for temporary user names or transient room names.
 * All options below are optional with good defaults.
 * 
 * @param {string[]} [opts.form = ['predicate', 'predicate', 'object']] An array of keys describing the form of the desired phrase. 
 *  Keys must be selected from the following word group keys with the following cardinalities:
 *   predicate - 1454
 *   object - 3072
 *   team - 130
 *   collection - 70
 *  These word groups are locked to v1.2.0 of friendly-words, so the possibility space should be stable.
 *  Illegal keys are ignored.
 *  The default form (['predicate', 'predicate', 'object']) has a possibility space of roughly 10bn.
 * @param {string} [opts.delimeter = ''] The delimeter between each word in the phrase. Default empty string.
 * @param {string} [opts.prefix = undefined] If defined, constrains the space of the first word in the phrase. 
 *   Case insensitive.
 * @param {string} [ops.code = undefined] If defined, a code that should always map to the same stable phrase.
 *   This should be stable across versions, as we're locked to v1.2.0 of friendly-words.
 *   This can map identifiers to stable friendly phrases.
 * @param {string} [ops.seed = undefined] If defined, defines a stable seed for producing an identical series of 
 *   random phrases from initialization. 
 *   Call this function repeatedly with the same seed to make it behave like a generator along the same sequence.
 *   Intended for stable unit testing or for stable internal startup. 
 *   This should be stable across versions, as we're locked to v1.2.0 of friendly-words.
 *   Not intended for general use. Throws if more than 10 different seeds are ever requested.
 *   Ignored if ops.code is defined.
