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 🙏

Tortuga

Tortuga

Tortuga is a minimal turtle graphics implementation in JavaScript and Canvas, intended to be used in modern browsers.

Installation

To install it just include Tortuga.min.js and start using it. It has no external dependencies.

Usage

Turtle Graphics and Logo are usually associated though they are different things. This turtle graphics lib is not quite intended to be used by kids as it has no special easy-to-use syntax, though it's quite simple anyway:

Documentation

For a complete documentation, check the docs section.

History

As I was perusing a book called Turtle Geometry (Abelson, Harold, Andrea A. diSessa. Turtle Geometry. Cambridge: MIT Press, 1983. Print.) I got interested in trying out the examples and exercises and I needed a tool to do it.

I did a brief search and couldn't find something simple enough and without any dependencies, almost all that I found were Logo implementations. Since it didn't seem overly complex, I decided to roll my own one and Tortuga was born.
