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 🙏

BYTE/DEPT® TypeGuards

(AKA ByteGuards)

This is a library for having typeguards at runtime boundaries, in addition to the native TS compile time checking. The purpose of this is to provide more information when variables fail type-guards, but also to ensure that when data comes back from an API, DB call etc, that it is of the type that we expect. This adds some overhead at run-time, but with the benefit of providing complete type security.

We have found it to be superior to other libraries such as io-ts and Spicery, and ts-runtime which runs in Babel, as there is a clearer indicator of what is going on, as well as verbose messages if you want them. In addition, with the use of GitHub CoPilot, we have found the 'manual' generation of TypeGuards quick and easy.

It was inspired by this article, written back in 2018.
