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 🙏

signalk-instrument-widgets

Add live instrument widgets to your chartplotter. Works with any chartplotter that supports Signal K plotter extensions (such as Freeboard-SK).

  • Gauge — a dial for any numeric value.
  • Meter — a 0–100% bar for ratio-style values.
  • Switch — shows an on/off value; tap to toggle it.
  • Display Value — a clean text readout: a small label on top, the live value large in the middle, and an abbreviation below — e.g. "Speed over ground" / value / "SOG".

Using the widgets

In your chartplotter, press and hold an empty widget area to add a widget — its setup panel opens automatically. Press and hold a placed widget to reconfigure or remove it.

Each widget is configured on its own: pick the value to show, choose the units, and set the range and labels. So you can place two gauges showing two different values side by side. Your settings are remembered for each widget.

Demo switch

If your server has no real switches to control (for example a demo or playback setup), the plugin can provide a demo switch so you can try the Switch widget anywhere. It is on by default and can be turned off in the plugin settings.
