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 🙏

A simple boilerplate for web development

Readme

JavaScript on a PLATE

Opinionated web development library built upon principles and practices everyone already knows and use daily.

Inspired by work done on jQuery, Rails, YAML, and Python, and many other projects.

Code should be joyful to write and easily read thus understandable to maintain. This is the promise upon PLATE web library created on. Like modern day poetry blocks of a poem if you will.

We say "best tool for the job" and mostly I think we don't mean that or know what it really means. What if there are several tools we should use to complete the job?

Ok, enough with the Chinese cookie placebo. What is the library all about? The easiest way for me to explain would be to go over the folder structure of the project and dive into each one. Please take the following explanation with a grain of salt because the codebase in it's early stages and everything in it might move/change/disappear/improve.

Core Principles

  • Code should be joyful to write and easily read thus understandable to maintain.
  • Indention first codebase
  • Apply best tools with-in their domain to complete the job.
