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

Sentinel CLI

Sentinel CLI is a terminal-first DNS blocker focused on safe system recovery. It enables a local DNS runtime, switches the system DNS to that local resolver, and keeps a restorable snapshot before changing the network state.

This npm package publishes the sentinel executable as a prebuilt release artifact produced by the project's release automation.

Install

npm install -g @daniel_santiago/sentinel-cli

After installation, run:

sentinel

What Sentinel does

  • Starts a local DNS runtime to filter blocked domains.
  • Guides activation and recovery through an interactive terminal flow.
  • Captures a snapshot before changing DNS settings.
  • Surfaces explicit degraded states when Sentinel cannot guarantee a safe change.
  • Keeps local state, snapshots, and recovery metadata for traceability.

Current scope

  • Primary real-network target: macOS
  • Primary interface: interactive CLI in a TTY
  • Safe development mode: SENTINEL_FAKE_PLATFORM=1

Notes for npm users

  • This package is a CLI binary package, not a JavaScript library.
  • Releases are expected to be published only by the official GitHub Actions release workflow after tag, version, and artifact consistency checks pass.
  • If you want to inspect or contribute to the source project, see the GitHub repository below.
