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 🙏

@illusions-lab/mdi-cli

Command-line interface for building complete .mdi documents through the Rust-authoritative MDI engine.

Install

npm install --global @illusions-lab/mdi-cli

Build a document

mdi build input.mdi --to html|pdf|epub|docx|txt|txt-ruby|narou|kakuyomu|aozora|note|txt-all \
  [--config export.json] [-o output]

HTML, EPUB, DOCX, and text output call mdi-core directly through the JavaScript binding. With --config, Rust also validates and applies EPUB/DOCX metadata, typography, chapter splitting, cover art, page geometry, and numbering. PDF receives Rust-prepared HTML and print data, then uses Chromium solely for page layout; Chromium never receives or parses MDI source.

txt-all writes every text variant next to the input and does not accept -o. The narou, kakuyomu, aozora, and note variants are contract-tested against their platform-owned notation manuals. note output is UTF-8 editor input; Aozora output is Shift_JIS with CRLF; an unencodable character fails explicitly instead of being replaced with ?.

Examples

# Rust renders semantic HTML.
mdi build novel.mdi --to html -o public/novel.html

# Rust produces EPUB and DOCX archives.
mdi build novel.mdi --to epub
mdi build novel.mdi --to docx

# PDF uses Rust HTML and Chromium only for print layout.
mdi build novel.mdi --to pdf --config print.json

Architecture

The CLI does not parse MDI or implement publication formats itself. HTML, EPUB, DOCX, and text call the Rust engine through @illusions-lab/mdi. Profile defaults, validation, paper dimensions, and print CSS also come from Rust. The host-specific step is launching Chromium for PDF.
