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 🙏

Extractive keyphrases, tags, hashtags, named entities and category votes — a zero-dependency RAKE + TF-IDF engine with built-in English and Nepali stopwords, Devanagari-aware, so you can stop asking an LLM to generate tags/hashtags/entities. Deterministic

Readme

@lacspace/keyphrase

Stop asking the model to tag things. Extract keyphrases, tags, hashtags, named entities and category votes from text with a zero-dependency RAKE + TF-IDF engine — built-in English and Nepali stopwords, Devanagari-aware, deterministic. Do the ~15–20% of an LLM's output that is really just extraction, for free.

npm i @lacspace/keyphrase
import { keyphrase } from "@lacspace/keyphrase";

const r = keyphrase(articleText, {
  gazetteer: ["Nepal Rastra Bank", "नेपाल राष्ट्र बैंक"],
  categories: { economy: ["rate", "inflation", "bank"], sports: ["match", "goal"] },
});

r.tags;       // ["policy interest rate", "central bank", ...]
r.hashtags;   // ["#PolicyInterestRate", "#CentralBank", ...]
r.entities;   // [{ text: "Nepal Rastra Bank", count: 2 }, ...]
r.categories; // [{ category: "economy", score: 4 }]
r.language;   // "en" | "ne" (auto-detected)
  • RAKE keyphrases — candidate phrases split at stopwords/punctuation, scored by word degree/frequency; topK, maxWords, dedupe, gazetteer boost.
  • Hashtags — CamelCase for Latin, Devanagari kept whole (matras preserved), punctuation stripped, 2–30 chars.
  • Entities — Latin Title-Case runs plus every gazetteer term (including Devanagari, which has no case).
  • Category votes — pass { category: [terms] } and get a ranked vote by term hits.
  • Bilingual — ships ENGLISH_STOPWORDS and NEPALI_STOPWORDS; auto-detects language, or force it; add your own with extraStopwords or replace with stopwords.

Deterministic and isomorphic. You bring domain stopwords/gazetteers; it brings the engine. Exports toHashtag and the two stopword lists too.
