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.

xkcd font xkcd-script randall munroe handwriting

xkcd-font

Fonts derived from the handwriting of @randallmunroe, the xkcd webcomic author. Yes, it really is his handwriting, and he hopes we fix the pesky kerning:

I have never been as self-conscious about my handwriting as when I was inking in the caption for this comic. [Credit to xkcd]

This repository contains two fonts, xkcd Script and xkcd, each with their own characteristics (and limitations):

Font: `xkcd Script`

xkcd Script is a font derived from a handwriting sample provided by Randall. It is far less uniform than xkcd, and we think it is therefore more like a true script font.

Sample of xkcd-script

You can see the font as a live preview, or for more information about the font and how it is constructed see the xkcd-script/README.

Font: `xkcd`

The xkcd font was originally created by Randall, and was used in xkcd "The Pace of Modern Life" (April 1st, 2013). It is considerably more uniform than xkcd Script, which can result in more legibility at the cost of being slightly less like the actual xkcd comic.
