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.

@carlosgtrz/pi-ansi-tools

Pi extension that adds tools for legacy-encoded source files, defaulting to windows-1252:

read_ansi
write_ansi
edit_ansi

Useful for Clarion .clw/.inc files and other legacy source formats.

Install

pi install npm:@carlosgtrz/pi-ansi-tools

Try without installing permanently:

pi -e npm:@carlosgtrz/pi-ansi-tools

For one-off testing from this repo:

pi -e ./packages/ansi-tools

Usage

Once installed, Pi can call these tools when working with legacy-encoded source files.

The tools mirror Pi's built-in read, write, and edit tools, but add an encoding layer:

read_ansi decodes the source file to UTF-8 before calling the built-in read behavior.
write_ansi encodes UTF-8 content back to the target legacy encoding before writing.
edit_ansi decodes the source file to UTF-8, applies the same exact-replacement behavior as the built-in edit tool, then re-encodes the result before writing.

Use them the same way you would use Pi's built-in tools, with an optional encoding parameter. If omitted, the encoding defaults to windows-1252.
