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 🙏

Awesome Quotes

A small library providing awesome phrases and quotes to show in your application

Installation

npm install awesome-quotes --save

Usage

// Gets a random quote in the collection "computers" with the "english" language
var quotes = require('awesome-quotes');
quotes.getQuote('computers','en', function(err, data) {

    if(!err) {
        console.log(data);
    }

});

Each returned quote is a object containing:

  • text
  • author

Other Example

// Gets a random quote in the collection "computers" with the "brazilian portuguese" language
var quotes = require('awesome-quotes');
quotes.getQuote('computers','pt-br', function(err, data) {

    if(!err) {
        console.log(data);
    }

});

Using Collections

To use a collection, you must write it in lowercase, followed by the supported language. Example:

// Using the Computers Collection (a collection of programmers and computer scientists quotes)
quotes.getQuote('computers','pt-br', function(err, data) {

    if(!err) {
        console.log(data);
    }

});

Supported Collections and Languages

At this moment, the library supports these collections:

  • computers (a collection of programmers and computer scientists quotes)
    • en
    • pt
    • pt-br

Creating Collections

1. Create a directory in /quotes with the lowercase name of the collection
2. For each language, create a JSON file. Eg: en.json, pt-br.json, etc.

Contributing

You can modify the json archives in the /quotes directory to add more phrases and quotes, and can optimize my code, because it is my first node module, and it is very simple.
