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

simple-image-server

Command line utility which starts a web server that you can save and query images from. Only supports png images.

So install with

npm install -g simple-image-server

and then you can override the port and place where the files go (default to ~/simple-image-server) for example

simple-image-server -p 3000 -d /some/path/here

Photo route is at /photos/. So for example, you send a POST with a base64 encoded png image to /photos/hello and you can then view it by sending a GET to /photos/hello.png (or just navigate in a browser to it)

Valid photo names are limited to what is considered valid by https://www.npmjs.com/package/sanitize-filename

If you want something to handle more case names and you want to use this just send me an email at [email protected] and we can improve this. The goal here is just to have a simple generic photo upload/download tool. Nothing fancy.


Example html if you're trying to get it to work with this (this server was made to rip webcam images an upload them to this server).

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
<style>
    html, body {
	    margin: 0px;
	    padding: 0px;
    }

    #videoElement {
        width: 100vw;
        height: 100vh;
        background-color: none;
        position: relative;
    }
</style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <video autoplay="true" id="videoElement"></video>
    <form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" name="form1">
        <input name="hidden_data" id='hidden_data' type="hidden"/>
    </form>
</body>
<script>
  const video = document.querySelector("#videoElement");
  navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia || navigator.msGetUserMedia || navigator.oGetUserMedia;
  const handleVideo = stream => { video.srcObject = stream; };
  const videoError = e => {
    console.error('video error');
  };

  if (navigator.getUserMedia) {
     navigator.getUserMedia({video: true}, handleVideo, videoError);
  }

  const uploadWebcam = imageName => {
    const video = document.querySelector("#videoElement");
    const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    canvas.width = video.videoWidth * 1;
    canvas.height = video.videoHeight * 1;
    canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

    const dataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
    document.getElementById('hidden_data').value = dataURL;

    const fd = new FormData(document.forms["form1"]);
    const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('POST', `http://localhost:3000/photos/upload/${imageName}`, true); // change  this to the port you want

    xhr.upload.onprogress = function(e) {
      if (e.lengthComputable) {
        var percentComplete = (e.loaded / e.total) * 100;
        console.log(percentComplete + '% uploaded');
      }
    };

    xhr.send(fd);
  };

</script>
