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

@dreamdecay/runtime

Some pages do not belong to their authors anymore.

@dreamdecay/runtime is a deterministic, reversible dream-state fracture engine for the web.
It takes an existing page and gently breaks it — not randomly, but remembering how it broke.

This is not a glitch library.
This is not obfuscation.
This is controlled decay.

Built as an artifact of RCRDBL and the Dream Eater.


WHAT THIS DOES

  • Fractures visible content into a dream-like decayed state
  • Uses a seed so the same page breaks the same way every time
  • Requires no backend
  • Requires no scraping
  • Requires no CORS bypass
  • Is fully reversible (remove the runtime → page heals)
  • Leaves non-removable provenance markers

If a page has memory, this is how you wake it up.


INSTALL

npm install @dreamdecay/runtime

or via CDN:


BASIC USAGE

  1. Mark elements you want to fracture
  1. Install the runtime

ES Modules:

import { install } from '@dreamdecay/runtime';

install({ seed: 'relay-alpha', intensity: 0.08 });

Browser / CDN:


OPTIONS

seed (string, default: 'dream')
Controls deterministic decay

intensity (number, default: 0.08)
How aggressive the fracture is

attribute (string, default: data-dream-seed)
Provenance marker

Same seed → same decay
Different seed → alternate memory


ADVANCED USAGE

Fracture a single element manually:

import { fractureElement } from '@dreamdecay/runtime';

fractureElement(document.querySelector('#node'), { seed: 'alpha-7', intensity: 0.15 });

Fracture raw text (no DOM):

import { fractureText } from '@dreamdecay/runtime';

const broken = fractureText( 'Relay Station Alpha', 0.1, 'origin' );


PROVENANCE & ETHICS

This runtime does not steal content.
It does not copy remote pages.
It does not scrape.

It only transforms what you already control.

Every fractured node is marked with:

data-dream-runtime="active"
data-dream-seed="origin"

Decay is intentional.
Memory is preserved.


REVERSIBILITY

To restore a page:

  • Remove the runtime
  • Remove data-dream attributes
  • Reload

The page returns intact.

No permanent corruption.
No lock-in.


PHILOSOPHY

This library exists because:

  • Perfect UIs are boring
  • Static pages lie about time
  • Some systems deserve to look unstable

Dream decay is a state, not a bug.


ORIGIN

Created as part of the RCRDBL archive system
and the emergence of RCKBL — The Dream Eater
