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

get-browser-fingerprint

Zero dependencies package exporting a single, fast (<15ms) and synchronous function which computes a browser fingerprint, without requiring any permission to the user.

Usage

Get browser fingerprint:

import getBrowserFingerprint from 'get-browser-fingerprint';
const fingerprint = getBrowserFingerprint();
console.log(fingerprint);

Options available:

  • hardwareOnly (default false): leverage only hardware info about device
  • enableWebgl (default false): enable webgl renderer, ~4x times slower but adds another deadly powerful hardware detection layer on top of canvas
  • enableScreen (default true): enable screen resolution detection, disable it if your userbase may use multiple screens
  • debug: log data used to generate fingerprint to console and add canvas/webgl canvas to body to see rendered image (default false)

⚠️ Be careful: the strongest discriminating factor is canvas token which can't be computed on old devices (eg: iPhone 6), deal accordingly ⚠️

Development

To test locally:

nvm install
yarn install
yarn test

To run example locally:

yarn http-server src -o -c-1 -p 80
