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 🙏

Glance DOM library

Readme

Glance DOM

Glance is a simple way to reference elements in the DOM. It’s intention and hope is to keep you from needing to look at the DOM in order to gain a handle to an element. However, if you do inspect the DOM (for example to grab a class or an id off of an element) then referencing elements by classes and id’s are supported too.

To best understand how it works, experimenting with it goes a long way. You can learn how to read Glance by playing a game… Come Take A Glance. Learn even more at Quasimatic.org

Documentation

For details on all good things that are Glance, come read the docs.

Browser

If you want to use Glance DOM in your Browser simply include it in a <script> tag on your page as shown below and then use it as shown below in example-script.js

<html>
  <body>
    <script src="http://quasimatic.org/glance-dom/dist/glance-dom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="example-script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  </body>
</html>

And then in your example-script.js file you can find the element that contains "click me" by executing the following:

var element = glanceDOM("click me");
