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 🙏

github-db - Github as a Database :fire:

The issue

Finding an online JSON based database hosting is a pain! The restrictions in bandwidth, the limitation in data storage or the mere struggle of remembering the passwords for such deters even the most enthusiastic people. Moreover, the free acounts come with practically nothing for the beginners to explore with for beginners who just want the data to be persisted

The solution

This project solves the issue by using a github repository to store database.

The user provides data along with name of the collection in the database, and the server does appropriate operation using REST API, taking care of the data manipulation aspect.

The server manipulates the local repository database and periodically updates the database in the remote repository.
