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

material-letter-icons

npm version

Generates generic, single-letter icons styled according to the Material Design colors and guidelines, similar to Gmail's fallback sender icons, using:

  • Roboto Light - to display the letters using the official Material Design typeface
  • material-colors - to provide a Material Design colored background for the icons
  • svg2png - to convert the generated .svg icon files to .png format using PhantomJS

Demo

Usage

The icons are pre-generated in .png and .svg format within the dist/ directory.

Generate Custom Icons

  • Install the dependencies/Roboto-Light.ttf font as a system-wide font, and make sure that Light is the only Roboto font weight you have installed. Unfortunately, it can't be bundled within the base.svg due to a bug with PhantomJS.

  • Run the following commands to generate icons for custom characters:

npm install -g material-letter-icons
material-letter-icons generate --chars '$#@'

Command Line Options

material-letter-icons --help

  Usage: material-letter-icons [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help         output usage information
    -V, --version      output the version number
    -c, --chars <$#@>  generate icons for custom characters (no seperator)

Troubleshooting

EACCES - Permission Denied

You probably don't have write access to your global node_modules folder. Work around this error by prefixing the commands with sudo, or check out fixing npm permissions to chown those directories.
