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 🙏

Tiles and Sigils

The world is built out of tiles, which consist of a sigil and foreground / background colors. A sigil is a simple ASCII character.

There is a limited amount of characters which are allowed as tiles at the moment, a subset of which are passable (can be traversed by a player).

See the list of sigils below. It can also be found inside sector7557 by invoking /legend.

  PASSABLE
  .|-_,>x<^v¤!?"
  
  ALLOWED (but not passable)
  \* #o+$%&/()=;§:

It is likely that the amount of sigils will be expanded in future patches.

Terminology

  • The player is a walker
  • The world is made out of sectors
  • Each screen is a map
  • A tile is a combination of a sigil, a foreground color (fg), and a background color (bg)
