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 🙏

@balkanbrs/margin-guard-core

Core engine for Margin Guard.

@balkanbrs/margin-guard-core is a local-first TypeScript package for SaaS margin analysis, pricing detection, profitability forecasting, gross margin visibility, hosting cost comparison, provider detection, and API cost estimation from a software project or codebase.

It is useful if you need to build:

  • SaaS margin analysis tools
  • codebase-based profitability forecasts
  • API, storage, database, and hosting cost estimators
  • pricing model scanners
  • unit economics and gross margin reports
  • provider comparison workflows for AI, storage, database, messaging, payments, and infrastructure
  • deterministic local-first cost and revenue forecasting workflows

What it includes

  • deterministic project scanning
  • pricing and revenue signal detection
  • provider and infrastructure detection
  • scenario forecasting for revenue, cost, profit, and margin
  • detailed cost buckets for API, storage, database, email/SMS, payments, and infrastructure
  • lower-cost alternative comparisons for detected providers
  • Markdown, JSON, and terminal-friendly report formatting
  • Gumroad-oriented local license verification helpers used by Margin Guard clients

Good fit for searches like

  • SaaS margin analysis package
  • pricing detection package
  • profitability forecast library
  • gross margin analysis toolkit
  • API cost estimation from codebase
  • hosting cost comparison engine
  • unit economics toolkit for software products
  • local-first pricing and provider scanner

Typical use cases

  • estimate software profitability from a repository
  • compare current provider stack versus cheaper alternatives
  • analyze hosting, storage, and database growth costs
  • create internal founder or product finance reports
  • export deterministic cost forecasts without sending code to AI services

Package focus

This package is the shared logic layer behind:

  • the Margin Guard desktop app
  • the Margin Guard CLI
  • the Margin Guard VS Code-compatible extension

It does not require cloud AI services for the core workflow.
