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 🙏

Corpus Word Freq

This package was created to provide utilities regarding the rarity of words in the english language.

Word rarity is based on the British National Corpus. More specifically, upon List 1.1, the complete list without frequency cut-offs found at https://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/bncfreq/flists.html.

Features

  • Return the rarity of a word, in the form of it's frequency per million words.
  • Find a specific amount of rarest words from an array.

Planned features

  • Provide options for common words, not just rare words.
  • Export types separately so they can be imported and used outside of this package.
  • Accommodate distinctiveness of words for word rarity in a ratio that can be specified on creation of the corpus instance.
  • Create a comprehensive test suite for the package.

Installation

  npm install corpus-word-freq
