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 🙏

Output Formats

Annotakit generates structured markdown in three formats:

Compact -one line per annotation, minimal:

1. `nav > button.menu` (HeaderNav) -Fix hover state

Standard -grouped with selector, component info, accessibility:

### 1. BUTTON

- **Selector:** `nav > button.menu`
- **Component:** HeaderNav (`src/lib/HeaderNav.svelte`)
- **Comment:** Fix hover state
- **Accessibility:** role="button", aria-label="Menu"

Detailed -everything above plus dimensions, computed styles, and component chain.

Modes

  • Element -click any element to annotate it with a CSS selector, component info, and a comment
  • Text -select text within an element to capture the selection with surrounding context
  • Multi-element -click multiple elements to group them into a single annotation

Features

  • Edit, delete, and update annotations inline
  • Markdown export in three detail levels with output preview dialog
  • Quick copy to clipboard from toolbar
  • Clear-all confirmation to prevent accidental deletion
  • Toggle annotation visibility without disabling annotation mode
  • Freeze page animations while annotating
  • Customizable highlight color (6 options)
  • Block page interactions toggle to prevent accidental clicks
  • Auto-clear after copy option in settings
  • Annotations persist in localStorage with configurable retention period
  • Light/dark mode with auto-detection
  • Svelte component detection (name, file, line, component chain)
  • Keyboard shortcuts (Escape to deselect/close)

MCP Integration

annotaKit can connect to an MCP server so AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) can receive and respond to your annotations in real time.

Install @annotakit/mcp and pass the server URL:

<Annotakit mcpServerUrl="http://localhost:4156" />

A status dot in the settings panel shows whether the MCP server is connected. See the @annotakit/mcp README for full setup.
