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

yurandom

A deterministic, seed-based pseudo-random generator powered by Xoroshiro128+, with zero dependencies.

📦 Features

  • 🔁 Deterministic output — same seed always gives same result
  • ⚡ Lightweight and fast — no dependencies
  • 🛠️ Includes common utilities: pick, shuffle, color, uuid, date, etc.
  • 🧪 Ideal for testing, generation, and reproducible randomness

🚀 Installation

bun add yurandom
# or
npm install yurandom
# or
pnpm add yurandom

✅ Usage

import { Yurandom } from "yurandom";

const rng = new Yurandom("uwu");

rng.random(); // 0.72183...
rng.int(1, 10); // 7
rng.pick(["a", "b", "c"]); // "b"
rng.bool(); // true or false
rng.uuid(); // deterministic UUID
rng.pastel(); // "hsl(125, 70%, 85%)"

📘 API

| Method | Description | | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | random() | Float between 0 and 1 | | int(min, max) | Integer between min and max (inclusive) | | bool() | Boolean (true or false) | | pick(arr) | Pick one item from array | | shuffle(arr) | Shuffle array (non-mutating) | | pastel() | Random pastel HSL color | | range(n, min, max) | Array of n integers between min and max | | uuid() | UUID-like deterministic string | | date(start, end) | Random date between start and end | | weighted([[x,w],...]) | Pick based on weight | | string(len, charset) | Random string | | hex(bytes) | Hex string of given byte length | | color(format) | Random color in "hex", "rgb", or "hsl" |

🎯 Real World Use Cases

  • Avatar generators: Create unique, consistent visuals (e.g., Dicebear-style avatars) from usernames or IDs.
  • Game development: Reproduce map layouts, item drops, or enemy patterns based on a seed.
  • Testing tools: Generate deterministic mock data for snapshot testing or simulations.
  • User personalization: Assign consistent themes, colors, or avatars to users without storing preferences.
  • Fuzz testing: Create predictable test variations with controlled randomness.
  • Data generation: Populate dev/staging environments with repeatable random data.

🔒 Deterministic by Design

All randomness is based on your input seed and powered by Xoroshiro128+. This makes it ideal for reproducible tasks.
