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 🙏

What is it about?

You can play with the live demo here: spotcss.io

Installation

Run $ npm i --save-dev spotcss or $ yarn add --dev spotcss to install SPOT CSS package.

Include line @import "~spotcss"; into your SCSS/SASS files.

Documentation

We offer 4 ways to explain our methodology and framework:

  • Cheat Sheet - takes 3 minutes - Select what you want to do and find out how to do it in SPOT CSS framework.

  • Quick start guide - takes 15 minutes - The quickest way to see the way style is written in this framework, without explanation of why it is so and what are the advantages of such an approach.

  • Tutorial - takes 1 hour - A basic overview that is organized so that it can be read from start to end and so that the reader understands the fundamental principles and basic ways of using the framework.

  • Documentation - takes hours - Comprehensive documentation of everything, organized by mixins and framework entities, so you can quickly find exactly what you want to learn more about.

Choose the one that fits your current needs best.

Pros

Clear to read

Even those who are not familiar with our methodology and framework understand the written code, because it has an intuitive syntax.

Easy to write

Because every line has a clear meaning and context, you can learn syntax very quickly and parser will help you not to break the rules.

Natural to think that way

You are already thinking in term of components, elements, states, variants an contexts. Just write and read it just like that.

Just SASS

Pure SASS framework with no other dependencies, javascript, or pre/post processor. So it's usable in any ecosystem (JS, PHP, Rubby, Python...)

Cons

SASS syntax

Everyone uses the SCSS syntax. So why SASS? Because of @include. But you can use the SCSS syntax if you want. But it's ugly and cluttered. See the differences.

New mixins

SPOT CSS code is based on mixins and functions. Most of them produce selectors. It's easy to learn because they are semantic. See the Quick start guide.

No utility classes

If you are used to using utility classes exclusively, this approach is different. It is component based. But you can use utility classes sometimes, but in moderation.

Too strict

SPOT CSS framework forces you to follow many rules and will yell at you when you break some of them. But that's the advantage, it's basically an implicit linter. You can get around partially this with +mode('draft').

Other benefits

Universal

The SPOT CSS approach is compatible with most types of projects and methodologies. Even with BEM. What it is not compatible with is utility first class frameworks.

Standardized

With SPOT CSS basically everyone writes the same code. Or at least very similar. Therefore, it can serve as a company standard for how to structure and write CSS.

Easy to refactor

If your project is written as component based CSS, but over time you've gotten into an unmaintainable state, refactoring to SPOT CSS is a matter of a few days.

Looking for contributors

If you are interested in any of this and you know how to code in JS or SASS, we can make amazing and useful tools together. I'm on my own for now on this project and any help will be appreciated. Contact me on our Discord - Johnny Seyd (@Seyd#6245)
