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 🙏

machine-learning libraries for Source Academy

The primary objective of this project is to create a reimplementation of PyTorch in TypeScript, with an educational focus. This project is developed with Source Academy integration in mind.

This project reimplements core parts of PyTorch while trying to keep the codebase simple, and the API as close to PyTorch as possible.

Using Pyodide, we can run Python code in the browser. Using pyodide_bridge.py in a way similar to examples/pyodide/ we can run PyTorch-like code in the browser.

Notable differences with PyTorch

  • This library exposes extra information for debuggers and visualizers to catch, as seen in events in src/util.ts. It is similar to hooks in PyTorch.
  • This library does not differentiate between LongTensors and FloatTensors. It uses number for all tensor elements.
  • This library does not currently support devices, such as GPUs.

Getting Started

Install yarn:

corepack enable
# or
npm install -g yarn

Install dependencies:

yarn install

Demo Usage

First, build it:

yarn build

See examples/ for examples.

Node

See examples/basic_backpropagation.js.

node examples/basic_backpropagation.js

Browser

You can run http-server and load examples/browser/index.html to see how it works.

yarn serve
# and navigate to http://localhost:8080/examples/browser/index.html to run torch in js
# or http://localhost:8080/examples/pyodide/index.html to run in python
# or http://localhost:8080/test/ to run the tests

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. The short version:

  1. Run yarn test to verify everything passes.
  2. Add tests for new ops or behaviour changes.
  3. Follow the existing patterns — new ops go in src/functions/ops.ts.

For full details on the codebase, how to add operations, and the testing setup, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
