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 🙏

Simple Geomath

Minimalist library for math involving latitude and longitude.

Installation

npm install --save simple-geomath

API

View full documentation.

Sample Usage

import * as Geo from "simple-geomath";

const losAngeles = { latitude: 34.0522, longitude: -118.2437 };
const newYork = { latitude: 40.7128, longitude: -74.0059 };
Geo.sphericalDistance(losAngeles, newYork);
// 3.944e6, the distance between Los Angeles and New York in meters.

Geo.latLngToCartesian(losAngeles, newYork);
// { x: -3.728e6, y: -7.406e5 }
// These are the coordinates of Los Angeles in a coordinate system centered at
// New York and with meter units. In other words, Los Angeles is ~3700 km west
// and ~740 km south of New York.

Current Limitations

This library is focused on the use case of converting a small section of the Earth to Cartesian coordinates. As such, there are several limitations:

  • Projections are inaccurate over large areas. This is a limitation of all projections of spherical coordinates onto Cartesian. See Map Projection on Wikipedia.
  • Projections of regions containing the north or south pole are wonky. I recommend you stay away.
  • The 180° longitude line (where longitude switches from +180° to -180°) causes problems for the sphericalDistance function and for projections. I recommend you stay away from it too.
