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 🙏

Readme

Sheng

Sheng is a Sass and CSS library for laying out type on the Web, which is opinionated about sizing and spacing, but leaves fonts and colours up to you.

It is named after Bì Shēng, the inventor of movable type.

It is intended to be a JS-free alternative to typography.js, but is not a pixel-perfect drop-in, instead taking a few different opinions in some places.

Usage

You can either use Sheng as a Sass library, or include its CSS directly if you're not using Sass. Then, you can add further rules to add your fonts, colours, and site-specific customisations.

Sass

The Sass file provides a sheng() mixin, which applies Sheng's styles. It takes the following parameters (all are optional):

  • $scale-ratio: The multiplier by which each heading's font size is scaled. Defaults to 4/3.
  • $base-font-size: The base font size. Defaults to 20px.
  • $paragraph-spacing: The spacing between paragraphs, as a multiplier of $base-font-size. Defaults to 1.

You can additionally extend or override styles using Sheng's placeholder selectors, and Sheng will apply them to the appropriate selectors. They are:

  • %sheng-heading: Applied to all headings.
  • %sheng-bold: Applied to everything Sheng makes bold, aside from headings.
  • %sheng-code: Applied to pre blocks and inline code elements.
  • %sheng-inline-code: Applied to inline code elements only. (If you want to style only code blocks, use the pre selector.)
@import "~sheng/sheng.scss";
.content {
  @include sheng();
}
%sheng-heading {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-weight: 900;
}

CSS

The CSS version is always applied to the .type selector. You can override some of Sheng's defaults using CSS Variables:

  • --heading-font-family, --heading-font-weight: Font family and weight for all headings.
  • --body-font-family, --body-font-weight: Font family and weight for most content.
  • --body-bold-font-weight: Font weight for everything Sheng makes bold.
  • --code-font-family: Font family for code and code blocks.
@import "https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/sheng-compiled.css";
.sheng {
  --body-font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
