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 🙏

Pure, Petite Program to Prepare PDF Excerpts Painlessly (PPPPPEP) 👏🏿 🎉 🍕

Requirements

Make sure you have PDFtk installed and in your system path.

Mac users - Be aware of this PDFTk issue

Installation

You can easily install it with npm:

npm i bookexcerpt

Make sure excerpts.js is in the directory with the PDFs which you're trying to use this Pure, Petite Program to Prepare PDF Excerpts Painlessly (PPPPPEP).

How to use

This PPPPPEP takes two arguments, the PDF you wish to excerpt ("Main.pdf") and the watermark PDF ("Watermark.pdf")

Run the following command in the directory with both PDFs

node excerpts.js Main.pdf Watermark.pdf

The output is a final PDF titled "Main_excerpt.pdf"

Currently, the excerpter is set to make a pdf excerpt that is no longer than 20% of the total pdf.

Thanks to jjwilly16 for their PDF Toolkit Node Wrapper and my code papas Tim and Daniel for the emotional and technical support.

Also, I still don't know what promises are, even though I use them in this
