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 🙏

v0.3.2

Published

Browser/WASM package for franken_markdown Markdown to HTML/PDF rendering.

Readme

franken_markdown WASM Package

This directory contains the source wrapper for the browser package. Generated wasm-bindgen glue is intentionally not committed here; scripts/check-wasm-package.sh builds it into target/fmd-checks/wasm-package/.

Build

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli --version 0.2.126 --locked
scripts/check-wasm-package.sh

The assembled package contains:

  • franken_markdown.js - ergonomic hand-written ESM wrapper,
  • franken_markdown.d.ts - exact TypeScript API contract,
  • demo/ - static browser demo that uses the public package wrapper,
  • package.json - package metadata and exports,
  • pkg/ - generated wasm-bindgen glue and .wasm binary.

Demo

After scripts/check-wasm-package.sh, serve the assembled package directory with any static file server and open demo/index.html:

python3 -m http.server 8787 --directory target/fmd-checks/wasm-package

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8787/demo/. The demo is plain HTML/CSS/ESM and does not require a bundler or network access for normal rendering. It imports ../franken_markdown.js, renders the HTML preview through renderHtml, and downloads PDF bytes through renderPdf.

Browser Usage

import { createRenderer } from "./franken_markdown.js";

const fmd = await createRenderer();
const html = await fmd.renderHtml("# Hello", { font: "sans", darkMode: "auto" });
document.body.innerHTML = html.text();

const pdf = await fmd.renderPdf("# Report", {
  title: "Report",
  metadataEpochSeconds: 1700000000
});
const url = URL.createObjectURL(pdf.blob());

Every render result has:

  • format: html or pdf,
  • mimeType: browser Blob MIME type,
  • extension: default download extension,
  • sourceLength: Markdown source byte length,
  • bytes: Uint8Array,
  • diagnostics: recoverable parser diagnostics,
  • text(), blob(), and filename() helpers.
