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 🙏

Project Finder

So, you operate a server or a Raspberry Pi with a few pet projects on it. You have a bunch of projects, scattered around and doing their own thing, but then you suddenly have to migrate all of those projects. You're can't back up the server data, or need to reinstall the system while preserving files. You never had the foresight of using Docker or Ansible to ensure that every single installation of your project is reproducible in a system completely isolated from your existing server. What now?

The Project Finder aims to look for every pet project in a given folder. It crawls through every directory on your drive, skips whatever it knows is not a project, and then tries to find a project in the remaining directories. It then returns a list of projects, with their (detected) name, path, and how they were determined.

Detection

Detection happens through detectors. This usually looks for files specific to a given language or package management system, such as npm, Yarn, Composer, etc.
