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 🙏

Readme

Scribble

Draw, write, and annotate PDFs using the power of LaTeX or Typst. No more fighting with clunky annotation tools — just write your markup and watch it appear on your PDF in real-time.

Demo

Scribble in action

Installation

npm install -g @notmanu/scribble

Important: You'll need either Tectonic (for LaTeX) or Typst installed on your system:

# macOS
brew install tectonic  # for LaTeX support
brew install typst     # for Typst support

# Windows/Linux
# See: https://github.com/typst/typst#installation
# See: https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/install.html

Usage

Start annotating a PDF:

scribble your-document.pdf --latex   # Use LaTeX
scribble your-document.pdf --typst   # Use Typst

Scribble creates a project folder and watches for changes. Just edit your .tex or .typ file, and your annotations will appear on the PDF automatically!

Watch an existing project

scribble watch ./your-project-folder

How it works

  1. Point Scribble at a PDF
  2. It creates a project folder with your template file
  3. Write your annotations using LaTeX or Typst
  4. Scribble compiles and overlays them on your PDF in real-time
  5. Perfect for homework, notes, or showing off your TeX skills

Perfect for

  • Math homework (those Greek letters aren't going to typeset themselves)
  • Annotating lecture notes
  • Procrastinating by tweaking LaTeX alignment for hours
