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 🙏

@iarna/epub-reader

A very minimal epub-reader, focused on reading epub related metadata.

EXAMPLE

const epubReader = require('epub-reader')
const info = await epubReader('filename.epub')

DESCRIPTION

This should be able to read epub2 and epub3 type documents with reasonable fidelity.

info has the following metadata extracted from Dublin Core fields of the same name, with the exception of tags which is an array produced by splitting the subject field on commas.

  identifier
  language
  title
  source
  publisher
  creator
  description
  date
  tags
  modified
  toc: [...chapters]

It also has the following calibre specific metadata:

  timestamp
  title_sort

And finally it understands the following calibre custom fields:

  updated
  words
  authorurl
  status
  fandom

chapters have file and name properties and a get method that will get the content of the chapter out of the epub.
