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 🙏

Wat

Dude, seriously, how many email validators are there out there? How hard are they to pick between?

I got tired of it. I'm making a proof of it.

I'm going to release a better email validator soon. I'm not done yet, but my prerelease is already spitting distance behind best I can find. (I'm coming for you, Steve.)

It's data time!

Of a possible 266 (better numbers are on their way soon) :

| Score | Pct | Name | |-------|-----|------| | 195/266 | 73.31 | Steve | | 195 | 73.31 | validator | | 195 | 73.31 | validate-email | | 194 | 72.93 | bvl from StackOverflow | | 194 | 72.93 | Parsley | | 190 | 71.43 | Sectrean | | 174 | 65.41 | RFC2822 HTML5 | | 165 | 62.03 | Fighting for a Lost Cause | | 156 | 58.65 | Sitepoint | | 153 | 57.52 | Tugrul Asik | | 153 | 57.52 | Microsoft | | 153 | 57.52 | JsKit | | 149 | 56.02 | Naive @ and . test | | 145 | 54.51 | Voyager w/ brackets | | 132 | 49.62 | Voyager locked |

Winner:

Steve

... for now. My package is tied with his regex (because I copied it,) so he gets the win.

Improvements incoming. :smile:

How, please

First, I gathered a bunch of email test data, and put it into packages like testdata-valid-email, testdata-invalid-email, and testdata-newtld-email, from excellent community resources like Fighting for a Lost Cause.

Then, I made a mechanic to test them one at a time, and count the results.

Finally, I gathered as many email validators as I could find, and I leveraged them.

Polemic :neckbeard:

node-validate-email-shootout is MIT licensed, because viral licenses and newspeak language modification are evil. Free is only free when it's free for everyone.
