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 🙏

SYSTEM FONT STACKS

This JS/JSON micro-library provides an opinionated selection of pre-defined web-safe and system font stacks for consumption by Node ecosystem build tools and applications. Just npm install system-font-stacks --save-dev and import stacks from 'system-font-stacks' and you're ready to go, nothing more to it. Each stack is an array of font names, use them however you wish.

The font stacks themselves are the product of years of idle research, some hands-on experience, and a lot of guesswork. I don't pretend to be an expert in these matters but then again, who is? Most of the articles written about web-safe font stacks are years old and usage data is lousy and poorly-sourced for the most part. I have at least gone to the trouble of sprinkling most font stacks with a few free and open source alternatives so as to not ignore Linux users the way some designers do.

Sane, informed, and reasonably well-documented pull requests are welcome!

Many of these font stacks are modifications of font stacks I've collected over the years. Many of my sources are no longer online. Among those that might still be around: this post by Michael Tuck, this post on A Way Back, this post on Mighty Meta, some tips about Futura and Century Gothic on Intavent, a cursory inspection of Dan's Tools, and the Wayback Machine.
