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 🙏

Cerebral static site builder

The why

Though it is great that we are using a static site builder, it is rather complex to use. It is also rather slow and it is generally difficult to contribute.

Features

  • Uses React components to create static markup
  • babel-node allows for ES2015 and JSX
  • babel-watch restarts server on changes... very fast
  • markdown-to-react-components is used to convert markdown into React. This also contains the TOC of the file
  • Css and Scripts are loaded through config
  • Can add any new content as we wish, where docs is the hook for using markdown
  • It has search

Demo

Start the demo with npm start. It shows off menu, TOC, rendering markdown and search. To build run npm run build. A static version is available in dist folder. Run python or whatever to test.

Summary

Contributing to these docs is as simple as adding components, markdown, css and scripts. It is all wired in the config.json file. Easy to understand.
