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 🙏

</script>

Usage

The best way to explore all the possibilities, interactive controls, and properties for each background is through our Storybook. It provides a real-time environment to tweak parameters and see the results instantly.

Digital Rain

A classic matrix-style falling character effect. Highly customizable with character sets, font sizes, speeds, and complex color gradients. Perfect for a retro-hacker or high-tech aesthetic.

Hexagon Wave

A sleek, organic waving grid of hexagons (or other polygons). It features dynamic shading, lightness boosts, and wave physics that create a premium, rhythmic motion across the screen.

Liquid Lines

A fluid, undulating animation of multiple lines with gradients and 3D depth effects. It offers extensive control over wave physics, line thickness, and color transitions, making it perfect for organic or "liquid" design themes.

Neon Rails

Fast-moving particles that follow a geometric grid, creating long neon trails. It's ideal for "electric" or "cyberpunk" themes, offering deep control over particle lifespan, grid geometry, and trail opacity.

Star Trail

A beautiful celestial animation featuring orbiting stars with fading trails. You can adjust orbit radii, star sizes, and colors to create anything from a subtle night sky to a vibrant cosmic nebula.
