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 🙏

Documentation

Alpha documentation is found here

Building

Install the development dependencies with npm:

npm install

Run the tests with npm:

npm test

Run the tests with grunt:

grunt default

Optionally you can also run the tests parallelized with nodeunit because we use QuickCheck for testing it can take some time especially if the goal of QuickCheck is set at a high value.

Set the number of tasks to run parallel, the --numOfParallel is optional, setting no value will set it to run 2 tasks in parallel.

Obviously the number of tasks to be run in parallel depends on the type of CPU and the number of cores available.

grunt par --numOfParallel=4

Alternatives

If you're looking for a serious functional programming library one that derives a lot from Haskell and Category Theory then consider looking into bilby.js. A lot of the ideas in bilby.js are also found in squishy-pants, but differ in some implementation types.

If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?

If a pure function mutates some local data in order to produce an immutable return value, is that ok?

Rich Hickey at http://clojure.org/transients

Squishy-pants assumes that it is ok to mutate local data as long as that local data is not exposed and if the result is immutable.

There is also lemonad which is in the similar vein to bibly.js and squishy-pants, with the aid of it's very good companion book Functional Javascript.
