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 🙏

Readme

@arcana-ui/cli

Command-line tool for Arcana UI — scaffold projects, validate themes, and activate built-in presets.

npx @arcana-ui/cli init my-app

That's the whole quickstart. Read on for the full surface.

Install

You don't have to install it. Just run via npx:

npx @arcana-ui/cli <command>
# or, equivalent:
npx arcana-ui <command>

Or install globally if you'd rather:

npm i -g @arcana-ui/cli
arcana-ui <command>

Commands

init [project-name]

Scaffold a new Arcana UI project. Walks you through framework, theme, density, and a starter layout, then generates a working app you can cd into and run.

# Interactive
npx arcana-ui init

# Non-interactive (CI / scripts)
npx arcana-ui init my-app \
  --framework vite \
  --theme midnight \
  --layout dashboard \
  --density comfortable \
  --skip-install \
  --yes

Options

| Flag | Values | Description | |---|---|---| | --framework <name> | vite | next | Vite + React + TS, or Next.js App Router | | --theme <id> | any of the 14 presets | See add-theme --list for the full set | | --density <mode> | comfortable | compact | spacious | Default comfortable | | --layout <id> | dashboard | marketing | ecommerce | editorial | general | Starter content for the home page | | --package-manager <pm> | pnpm | npm | yarn | bun | Auto-detected from npm_config_user_agent | | --skip-install | flag | Generate files but don't run install | | -y, --yes | flag | Accept defaults for any unanswered prompt |

Layouts

Every layout uses real @arcana-ui/core imports and typechecks against the published package — there's no template-only API drift.

| Layout | What you get | |---|---| | dashboard | Sidebar nav, KPI / stat cards, sortable DataTable. Best for SaaS / admin. | | marketing | Sticky Navbar, centered Hero, FeatureSection grid, PricingCard tier, CTA banner, Footer. Best for landing pages. | | ecommerce | Navbar with cart badge, ProductCard grid with mocked images, Footer. Best for storefronts. | | editorial | ArticleLayout with prose width, AuthorCard, PullQuote, NewsletterSignup, RelatedPosts grid. Best for blogs and journals. | | general | Minimal Navbar + Hero + Footer. A blank canvas. |

validate <file>

Lint a theme JSON file. Checks structure, completeness, reference resolution, and WCAG AA contrast on the key foreground / background pairs.

npx arcana-ui validate ./my-theme.json
npx arcana-ui validate ./my-theme.json --strict   # warnings → errors

What it checks

  1. Structure — top-level name, primitive, semantic blocks
  2. Completeness — required semantic groups (background, foreground, action, border)
  3. References — every {primitive.x.y} token reference resolves
  4. WCAG contrast — five key pairs against AA thresholds (4.5:1 normal, 3:1 large/UI):
    • foreground.primary on background.surface
    • foreground.primary on background.page
    • foreground.secondary on background.surface
    • foreground.on-primary on action.primary.default
    • foreground.on-destructive on action.destructive.default

Exits 1 on any error so it slots into CI pipelines.

--fix is reserved for future autofix support and currently surfaces a notice for failing pairs that could be remediated.

add-theme [preset]

Show how to activate one of the 14 built-in presets. Since @arcana-ui/tokens ships every preset pre-built into a single arcana.css bundle, "adding" a theme is just setting data-theme on <html>.

# Interactive picker
npx arcana-ui add-theme

# Specific preset
npx arcana-ui add-theme midnight

# List all presets
npx arcana-ui add-theme --list

The 14 presets: light · dark · terminal · retro98 · glass · brutalist · corporate · startup · editorial · commerce · midnight · nature · neon · mono.

What you get from init

A fully working app pinned to @arcana-ui/core@^0.1.0-beta.2 and @arcana-ui/tokens@^0.1.0-beta.2, with:

  • The tokens stylesheet imported once at the app root
  • The core component stylesheet imported once at the app root
  • data-theme and data-density set on the root element
  • The chosen starter layout in src/App.tsx (Vite) or app/page.tsx (Next.js)

Switch themes by changing one attribute:

<html data-theme="midnight">
