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 🙏

Readme

fauxfriend

This is a library and CLI for generating faux-column images as described in Faux Columns for Liquid Layouts and Ethan Marcotte's Responsive Web Design.

Installation

You will need node.js and the npm package manager installed to use this tool. With that done, installation is just:

npm install -g fauxfriend

Usage

Example:

fauxfriend -l '#525252' -r 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)' -p 45.5 faux-column.png

The options are:

-l (required) left column color

-r (required) right column color

-p (required) left/right boundary point as a percentage

The output filename must be specified as an additional argument, and the output format is always PNG.

The colors may be specified using a CSS color. The hex, rgb, and rgba formats are supported. Transparency is supported using rgba style colors as shown in the example above.
