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 🙏

Yet Another WebGL Library.

An extremely lightweight library to hide some of the verbosity of the native WebGL API.

Most of the methods were developed while working through the excellent WebGL Fundamentals lessons. Many of them closely follow greggman's module from that site.

Why Yet Another Library?

There are already lots of WebGL libraries, including TWGL from the great greggman himself. Why release yet another one?

The main reason: they are not lightweight enough. Even TWGL (described as "tiny"!) is over 6000 lines. Granted, most of those lines are helpful comments, but 6000 lines is still a lot to scroll through.

A second reason: we want to use rollup to do static analysis and tree shaking on modular code written in ES6.

How light is lightweight?

The canonical use case for yawgl is a simple ray-casting application. We therefore don't include any cameras, meshes, primitives, or any of the usual 3D tools.

All yawgl does is take care of the repetitive parts of the WebGL API for attributes, indices, uniforms, textures, and draw calls. But please note: you still need to know how all these things work! If you don't understand them yet, your best options are to either:

TODO

  • Document API, especially initContext method
  • Check tile-gl for possible new functionality
  • Consider optional change-tracking to avoid repeat uniform setting
  • Implement handling for Uniform Buffer Objects
