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

@ast-outline/cli (final release)

npm License: MIT

This is the final release of @ast-outline/cli. The project has been renamed to ast-bro — the old name no longer fits a toolkit that now covers dep & call graphs, hybrid semantic search, and AST-aware structural rewrite (and the name collided with a couple of unrelated packages).

Switch to:

npm install -g @ast-bro/cli

See github.com/aeroxy/ast-bro for the new home.

What this 2.1.1 release does

It's the same code as ast-bro 2.2.0 and installs three commands so you can start using the new names before switching package:

  • ast-outline — the original CLI (still works, will not receive further updates)
  • ast-bro — the new canonical name
  • sb — a shorter alias

Every ast-outline --help invocation prints the discontinuation notice with the upgrade path. Once you're ready, npm uninstall -g @ast-outline/cli && npm install -g @ast-bro/cli and your scripts that call ast-bro or sb keep working.

Install (for now)

npm install -g @ast-outline/cli

On first run the wrapper downloads the pre-built Rust binary from GitHub releases and caches it locally.
