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 🙏

Saijiki.js

A Saijiki is a resource for poets that lists kigo, seasonal ideas pervasive in Japanese culture, for the use of poets.

Saijiki.js is an English language Saijiki 【歳時記】implemented in JavaScript for computational poets and net artists. It contains much of the information a traditional Saijiki does and has some additional parameters that enable cool digital stuff.

I hope it can be used as a springboard for digital art as a traditional Saijiki is used for analog art.

Want to know more? Check out the full introduction.

Usage

Install it

npm install saijiki.js

Include it

var saijiki = require(`saijikijs`)

Filter kigo

// kigoList will be an array of all kigo that match your terms
let kigoList = saijiki.filter({season: [`spring`], weather: [`clear`]})

Or get kigo relevant to today

// kigoList will be an array of kigo that are relevant to today's date
// pass `true` as a param to `today()` to get kigo matching the subseason
// you could do this buy also filter on weather and conditions. Wouldn't that be fun.
let kigoList = saijiki.today()

Things You Can Filter On

You can filter an arbitrary number of keys and values with filter() Pass an object to filter() and pass the values as an array of strings

|Key|Value| |--|--| | season |spring, summer, autumn, winter, new year | | subSeason | early spring, mid spring, late spring, all spring, early summer, mid summer, late summer, all summer, early autumn, mid autumn, late autumn, all autumn, early winter, mid winter, late winter, all winter, new year | |category | the season, the heavens, the earth, humanity, observances, animals, plants| | timeOfDay | morning, afternoon, evening | | weather | rain, snow, cloudy, clear| | conditions | cold, hot |

Kigo Object

Returned kigo objects give you a bunch of information. Here's a sample for 日永 which I think is nice imagery

{
    "pronunciation": "hinaga",
    "hiragana": "ひなが",
    "japanese": "日永",
    "description": "day(s) lengthening",
    "season": "spring",
    "subSeason": "all spring",
    "category": "the season",
    "commentary": "",
    "timeOfDay": "afternoon",
    "weather": "",
    "generalConditions": "",
    "source": "http://jti.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/haiku/saijiki/1sp.html",
    "text": "Nyūmon Saijiki"
  }

Going Forward

This is an early version of what may become a full digital saijiki. I'd like to add more kigo, more filter categories, and links to haiku using the terms. Always interested in help or feedback.
