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 🙏

Talisman

Full documentation

Talisman is a JavaScript library collecting algorithms, functions and various building blocks for fuzzy matching, information retrieval and natural language processing.

Installation

You can install Talisman through npm:

npm install talisman

Documentation

The library's full documentation can be found here.

Bibliography

An extensive bibliography of the methods & functions implemented by the library can be found here.

Goals

  • :package: Modular: the library is completely modular. This means that if you only need to compute a levenshtein distance, you will only load the relevant code.
  • :bulb: Straightforward & simple: just want to compute a Jaccard index? No need to instantiate a class and use two methods to pass options and then finally succeed in getting the index. Just apply the jaccard function and get going.
  • :dango: Consistent API: the library's API is fully consistent and one should not struggle to understand how to apply two different distance metrics.
  • :postal_horn: Functional: except for cases where classes might be useful (clustering notably), Talisman only uses functions, consumes raw data and order functions' arguments to make partial application & currying etc. as easy as possible.
  • :zap: Performant: the library should be as performant as possible for a high-level programming language library.
  • :globe_with_meridians: Cross-platform: the library is cross-platform and can be used both with Node.js and in the browser.

How to cite

Talisman has been published as a paper on the Journal Of Open Source Software (JOSS).
