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 🙏

##Current optimizations

  • When we remove a seam not all pixels are recalculated instead only pixels either side of the seam are enqueued to be recalculated. If the min sum of the affected pixel has not changed we need not enqueue it's children.

##Potential optimizations

  • Iterate arrays in a CPU cache efficient way
  • Keep track of smallest on top row
  • Have three matrices, one for minx, one for vminsum and one for energies so that we can use typed arrays
  • Could convert picture rgba array to Uint32Array rgb number array to save space
  • Do logical deletes on the energy matrix. This way the cost of deletion goes way down, with the cost of finding the neighbor when recalculating going up some. Would have to keep picture array as an array of Uint8ClampedArrays.
  • Potentially could add the pixels which we need to recalculate the energy for to a queue of nodes and relax there edges to adjacent pixels. If we do not find a smaller vminsum for any pixel on the queue we do not need to iterate its descendants.
  • There might be a (slightly) better way to remove the seam, with less conversion between coordinates.
