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 🙏

Me: What are the connotations of a CLI development server / static site generator / soon to be full stack API being named "shovel"?

ChatGPT-4:

The name "shovel" for a CLI development server, static site generator, or full stack API can have various connotations:

  1. Functionality: A shovel is a versatile tool used for digging, lifting, and moving materials, which can symbolize the tool's ability to handle different tasks in a development environment. In this context, the name could imply that the tool is flexible, adaptable, and capable of handling a variety of jobs in the development process.
  2. Simplicity: Shovels are simple and straightforward tools, which can imply that the named software is designed to be easy to use and understand. The name could convey that the tool aims to provide a user-friendly experience, with a focus on minimizing complexity and maximizing ease of use for developers.
  3. Robustness: Shovels are known for their durability and ability to withstand harsh conditions. This connotation could suggest that the software is designed to be reliable and robust, capable of handling heavy workloads and providing consistent performance.
  4. Groundbreaking: A shovel is often used to break ground for new construction projects, symbolizing new beginnings and progress. In the context of a development tool, this could represent the innovative nature of the software, as well as its potential to contribute to the growth and evolution of web development.
  5. Humor: The name "shovel" could also be perceived as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the software, potentially implying a light-hearted, playful approach to development. This can be appealing to developers who appreciate humor or unconventional naming conventions in the tools they use.

It's important to note that the actual connotations and perception of the name "shovel" will depend on the specific tool's features, performance, and the user's individual experiences with the software.
