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

A premium, interactive Markdown component for React that brings your documentation to life with a dynamic laser pointer interaction. Perfect for presentations, walkthroughs, or just adding that "wow" factor to your docs.

License React Version


✨ Features

  • 🚀 Interactive Laser Pointer: A smooth, velocity-aware laser trail that follows your cursor.
  • 📝 Markdown Support: Full GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) support via marked.
  • 🎨 Premium Aesthetics: Minimalist, floating toolbar with glassmorphism effects.
  • ⚡ Lightweight: Optimized for performance with zero unnecessary dependencies.
  • 🌓 Mode Toggling: Easily switch between normal reading and presentation mode.

🚀 Installation

npm install laser-draw
# or
yarn add laser-draw
# or
pnpm add laser-draw

⚡ Quick Start

import { Draw } from "laser-draw";
import "laser-draw/style.css";

const App = () => <Draw />;

📁 Usage

Simple Implementation

import { Draw } from "laser-draw";
import "laser-draw/style.css";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div style={{ height: "100vh" }}>
      <Draw />
    </div>
  );
}

Dynamic Content Example (React)

You can use laser-draw with dynamic state to create an interactive document viewer.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Draw } from "laser-draw";
import "laser-draw/style.css";

export default function DocumentViewer() {
  const [doc, setDoc] = useState("# Initial Content");

  return (
    <div className="container">
      {/* Your Editor or Controls */}
      <button onClick={() => setDoc("# Updated Content 🚀")}>Update Doc</button>

      {/* The Laser Draw Component */}
      <Draw />
    </div>
  );
}

⚙️ Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description | | :---------- | :------- | :------ | :------------------------------------ | | content | string | "" | The raw markdown string to render. | | className | string | "" | Optional CSS class for the container. |


🧠 Why this works

Unlike static markdown viewers, laser-draw is built for engagement.

  • Shows real usage: The interactive layer lives on top of your content without blocking it.
  • Demonstrates practicality: It's not just a viewer; it's a tool for communication.
  • Makes package feel alive: The micro-animations and feedback loops (like the trail decay) make the user experience feel premium and modern.
