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

[!NOTE] The original source code for the MInstance project can be found here

Features

  • Supports majority of Roblox data types and can serialize most properties with no issues.
  • Extremely fast performance!
  • Supports properties with its value being set to reference to another Instance, achieving this without setting UUIDs. This allows properties such as SelectionBox.Adornee to perfectly work as long as it is referencing an Instance that is a descendant of the main Instance being deserialized.
  • Supports MeshParts, which some other serializers fail to serialize properly. This is optional and you have to manually enable it in DeserializationSettings. (LOADS SLOW due to requiring to fetch the assets from Roblox's APIs)
  • Serializes attributes.
  • Instead of relying on an API dump to get properties like all other serializers do, the module will be updated to use ReflectionService:GetPropertiesOfClass() the moment that it is enabled, which is more futureproof than relying on the API dump.
  • You have the option to encode serialized data into Base94, which allows you to store serialized data into DataStore.
