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 🙏

My version of a custom select input, with filtering

The process

https://24ways.org/2019/making-a-better-custom-select-element/

To Do

  • Move status update to start on first focus, not on page load
  • Add the high-contrast focus indicator back (not sure when that got removed?)
  • Add aria-selected attributes to makeChoice, remove on clearValue
  • check arrow navigation works in all screen readers
    • problems in JAWS/Chrome during filtered state
    • Talkback/Chrome/Android not working well
    • NVDA/Firefox seems ok, continue testing

Questions

  • What would the impact be of removing aria-controls attribute? It causes older JAWS to give additional instructions which are inaccurate.
  • Or should there be instructions at all? Excess instructions are usually annoying. On the other hand it's a custom widget, so people might not have encountered an input like it before.
