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 🙏

Quick and dirty wordlist based word generator for inspiration when naming shit

Works like the github repo name generator, making things like:

baroque-macrology-gophers naivest-jello-nastygram gunning-studly-quarters

Usage:

install it

npm install wordgenerator

in your codes:

var WordGenerator = require('wordgenerator')

Now you can

new WordGenerator({num : 3, separator : '-'},function(err,words){
  var randomWords = words
})

If you want to use it more than once, it's smarter to:

var generator = new WordGenerator()

That way the lists will be cached and all that goodness. Now you can

generator.generate({num : 3, separator : '-'},function(err,words){
  var randomWords = words
})

The options can just be a boolean to take defaults, which are {num : 3, separator : '-'}:

generator.generate(true,function(err,words){
  var randomWords = words
})

Bonus:

Add your own words from a file:

var wg = new WordGenerator()
wg.addFile(__dirname + '/relative/path/to/file.lst')

Words are stored on the generator, so go nuts:

wg.words.push('someword')

However, the length is cached, so you must update it too.

wg.numWords ++

Hate my words? Well whatever, just clear them out and replace them

wg.words = ['coffin']
wg.numWords = 1

Now the only word it generates is "coffin", and calling it is a waste of cpu.
