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 🙏

@avandar/browser-utils

Browser/DOM utilities (OPFS, navigation, storage persistence, platform detection) for the Avandar web app.

ESM only. Requires Node 22+ and a browser environment.

Install

pnpm add @avandar/browser-utils

No peer dependencies.

API

All functions are named exports from the package root.

OPFS (Origin Private File System)

| Function | Description | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | clearOpfs() | Removes every entry from the origin private file system | | removeOpfsFile(name) | Removes a single file, ignoring a missing file | | ensureOpfsWritePermission() | Resolves once OPFS is writable, rejecting if it is not |

Storage persistence

| Function | Description | | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | ensureLocalStoragePersistence() | Asks the browser to mark storage persistent so it is not evicted |

URL and navigation

| Function | Description | | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | getCurrentUrl() | The current page URL | | navigateToExternalUrl(url) | Navigates the top-level window to an external URL |

Platform and connectivity

| Function | Description | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | getIsOnline() | Whether the browser reports network access | | getIsMacPlatform() | Whether the current platform is macOS |

These wrap browser APIs that are awkward to call directly, are inconsistently supported, or need a guard for non-browser environments (server-side rendering, tests). They read the DOM and navigator, so they must run in a browser.
