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 🙏

G-Man

Travis   npm

  • npm: npm install gman -g

G-Man is a documentation engine which uses GitHub.com as the doc source, and parses Markdown documents to provide an easy way for developers to read documentation. All of the options in G-Man can be configured with the .gman.yml configuration.

G-Man and Cat Source: ViaEstelar on DeviantArt.com.


Getting Started

G-Man follows a format that allows a readable format in both GitHub and the CLI. By following the standards your output will look something similar to the following:

G-Man Screenshot v0.1.0

Documentation Title

When the developer opens the documentation page they will want to know what they're looking at quick glance, for this we specify a main header:

# G-Man Documentation

Underneath the documentation header you can specify the responsibility and any other information you feel necessary.

# G-Man Documentation

Responsible for providing the entry point to the G-Man documentation.

We then begin specifying the methods present in the related file followed by the methods themselves.

## Methods

### renderTemplate

Underneath the renderTemplate method we will document its parameters – specifying additional information between asterisks: *(private)*.

## Methods

### renderTemplate
    
 * `firstParam` *{String}* Name of your self-invoking method;
 * `secondParam` *{Function}* Optional callback that will be invoked after success;

We can also specify the responsibility of the method by adding another header to the documentation.

### specifyExitCallback *(private)*

#### Responsible for attaching an event to the exit process.
