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 🙏

lunicode-squares

v1.0.2

Published

Uses mixed unicode symbols to square each char, if available. This is very much depending on the browser of the viewer.

Readme

Lunicode squares

forthebadge NPM forthebadge

Provides a squares effect for certain characters in strings, so they seem they are in "squares". This is mainly for testing, emergency purposes (when you dont want to resort to css transforms.) or art.

:warning:: This seems to depend on the font/browser you are using. So the effect cant be guaranteed on the client side.

Usage

Encode

squares.encode(string) Replaces all chars with their equivalent but in squares. So it turns this sentence: "If they have to die, let it be fast. You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves."

Into "I⃞    f⃞     t⃞    h⃞    e⃞    y⃞     h⃞    a⃞    v⃞    e⃞     t⃞    o⃞     d⃞    i⃞    e⃞    ,⃞     l⃞    e⃞    t⃞     i⃞    t⃞     b⃞    e⃞     f⃞    a⃞    s⃞    t⃞    .⃞     Y⃞    o⃞    u⃞     m⃞    i⃞    g⃞    h⃞    t⃞     e⃞    v⃞    e⃞    n⃞     p⃞    r⃞    o⃞    v⃞    i⃞    d⃞    e⃞     a⃞     H⃞    e⃞    a⃞    v⃞    e⃞    n⃞     f⃞    o⃞    r⃞     t⃞    h⃞    e⃞    m⃞    .⃞     W⃞    e⃞     n⃞    e⃞    e⃞    d⃞     Y⃞    o⃞    u⃞     f⃞    o⃞    r⃞     t⃞    h⃞    a⃞    t⃞    .⃞     H⃞    e⃞    l⃞    l⃞     w⃞    e⃞     c⃞    a⃞    n⃞     m⃞    a⃞    k⃞    e⃞     f⃞    o⃞    r⃞     o⃞    u⃞    r⃞    s⃞    e⃞    l⃞    v⃞    e⃞    s⃞    .⃞"

Decode

squares.decode(string) It removes the squares.
