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 🙏

PDF/DOC(X) Converter

@mvasin/doc-converter converts .doc, .docx, and .pdf resumes into Markdown files, optionally clearing prior output before writing.

Usage

  1. Run without installation:

    npx @mvasin/doc-converter --input <file|directory> --output <file|directory> [--clear-output]
    • --input (required): path to a single .doc, .docx, or .pdf, or a directory containing those files.
    • --output (required): a file path when the input is a single file, or a directory path when the input is a folder.
    • --clear-output (optional): when provided, deletes existing output files/folders before conversion; otherwise, existing .md files are preserved and conversion skips them.

  2. When testing locally without publishing, link the package and execute the bin:

    npm link
doc-converter --input ./input/resume.docx --output ./resume.md

Requirements

  • Node.js (see package.json for engine/dep versions).
  • LibreOffice (for headless .doc → .docx conversion).

What it does under the hood

  1. Cleans the output/ directory so each run starts fresh.
  2. Accepts .doc, .docx, and .pdf resumes from output/.
  3. Converts .doc files to .docx via soffice --headless --convert-to docx (LibreOffice must be installed on the host).
  4. Pipes every .docx through mammoth and turndown to emit Markdown, stripping inline images.
  5. Extracts text from PDFs using pdf-parse and formats it with paragraph spacing for readability.
  6. Logs success/failure for each file and leaves .md files in output/.

NPM dependencies

  • mammoth: reads .docx and produces HTML.
  • turndown: converts Mammoth’s HTML into Markdown while allowing custom rules like image stripping.
  • pdf-parse: pulls raw text from PDFs for Markdown output.
  • Node.js built-ins: fs, path, os, and child_process for file handling and LibreOffice calls.
