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

@caffinate/grid

Turn idle compute into $CAFF. One command.

npx @caffinate/grid connect

Registers your machine as a compute node on the Caffinate Grid, heartbeats every 30s, and earns $CAFF against your daily cap. Ctrl+C to disconnect.

Three-step setup

# 1. Get your API key
open https://caffinate.ai/get-api-key

# 2. Sign in once (stored in ~/.caffinate/config.json, chmod 600)
npx @caffinate/grid login

# 3. Start earning
npx @caffinate/grid connect

Commands

| Command | What it does | |---|---| | grid | Intro + next-step hints | | grid login | Paste a caff_* key; verify against the API | | grid connect | Register node + live heartbeat dashboard | | grid status | Balance + all your nodes, at a glance |

connect options

| Flag | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---| | -n, --name <name> | hostname-derived | Label for the node in the web dashboard | | -q, --quiet | off | Suppress the live heartbeat dashboard line |

Environment variables

| Var | Purpose | |---|---| | CAFFINATE_API_KEY | Alternative to grid login. Read once at login time. | | CAFFINATE_API_URL | Override API base URL. Default https://api.caffinate.ai. | | NO_COLOR | Disable ANSI colors. |

How it works

grid connect calls the Caffinate API's browser-class node registration — this is the same endpoint the /grid web page uses, so the economics match: CU accrues per heartbeat up to a daily cap, throttleable from the web dashboard's dimmer slider. CLI nodes appear in your node list and can be managed from the browser too.

Heartbeats fire every 30 seconds while the process is alive. Miss three in a row (~90s) and the server flips your node to idle — no explicit teardown needed on shutdown.

Node identity is stable across runs: after the first connect, your node id is cached in ~/.caffinate/config.json and reused on subsequent runs. One node per machine.

Security

  • Your API key is stored at ~/.caffinate/config.json with mode 0600 (user-only read/write).
  • The key is sent over HTTPS only — never logged to stdout except on explicit grid status output (never the full key — just the first-8 prefix).
  • Revoke keys any time at https://caffinate.ai/get-api-key.
