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

Git Viewer

A fast, read-only web UI for browsing a local git repository — its commit history, the files each commit changed, and per-file diffs, revealed one step at a time as you drill in.

What it does

  • Commit graph — the full history with branch and merge rails, short hashes, branch and tag badges, authors, and dates. Uncommitted work shows up as a "Working tree" entry at the top.
  • Files changed — click a commit to see the files it touched, each with add/remove counts and a summary.
  • Diffs — click a file for its diff. Renames, binary files, and very large diffs are all handled gracefully.

The window starts as a single column and widens to two, then three, as you go from a commit to its files to a single diff — and collapses back the same way. The current view lives in the URL, so it can be refreshed or shared.

It only ever reads your repository — it never runs a command that changes it.

Running it

Git Viewer is built for the another desktop and published as @anotherco/git-viewer. Open it from the LAUNCH sidebar to browse the current workspace, or click a repository's .git folder to view that repo.
