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 🙏

underscore-contrib

The brass buckles on Underscore's utility belt -- a contributors' library for Underscore.

Links

Why underscore-contrib?

While Underscore provides a bevy of useful tools to support functional programming in JavaScript, it can't (and shouldn't) be everything to everyone. Underscore-contrib is intended as a home for functions that, for various reasons, don't belong in Underscore proper. In particular, it aims to be:

  • a home for functions that are limited in scope, but solve certain point problems, and
  • a proving ground for features that belong in Underscore proper, but need some advocacy and/or evolution (or devolution) to get them there.

Use

First, you’ll need Underscore. Then you can grab the relevant underscore-contrib libraries and simply add something like the following to your pages:

<script type="text/javascript" src="underscore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="underscore.object.builders.js"></script>

At the moment there are no cross-contrib dependencies (i.e. each library can stand by itself), but that may change in the future.

Contributing

There is still a lot of work to do around perf, documentation, examples, testing and distribution so any help in those areas is welcomed. Pull requests are accepted, but please search the issues before proposing a new sub-contrib or addition. Additionally, all patches and proposals should have strong documentation, motivating cases and tests. It would be nice if we could not only provide useful tools built on Underscore, but also provide an educational experience for why and how one might use them.

Other (potentially) useful sub-contribs include the following:

  • String utilities
  • Date/time utilities
  • Validators
  • Iterators
  • Generators
  • Promises
  • Monads
  • Currying
  • Laziness
  • Multimethods

What do these mean? Well, that’s up for discussion. :-)
