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 🙏

Impresso Common Code

JavaScript code shared between Middle Layer and Front End. Mostly Protocol Buffers at the moment.

Building

Requirements: Protocol Buffers

When a Protocol Buffer schema is changed - e.g. you change the file query.proto, corresponding js files need to be regenerated. This requires a protoc compiler installed. Follow these instructions to install it on OSX. If you have brew, do brew install protobuf to install protoc.

Regenerating js files from proto schemas:

npm run compile

Cross platform compilation

Since the library is used by both Middle Layer (node.js) and Front End (browser) the library needs to be compiled to be used in both browser and Node.js environment. We use rollup for this.

Compile the library:

npm run build

The library must be built before every commit because it is used as a direct GitHub dependency in other projects.

Testing

Make sure mocha is installed.

npm test

Project

The 'impresso - Media Monitoring of the Past' project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) under grant number CRSII5_173719 (Sinergia program). The project aims at developing tools to process and explore large-scale collections of historical newspapers, and at studying the impact of this new tooling on historical research practices.
