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 🙏

Node PS1 for .NET

This project is in Beta stage.

This is a project that mimics the Node API for .NET, aiming to utilize the built-in PowerShell 5.1 and .NET Framework 4.x in Windows to replace the full high-version .NET runtime, thereby reducing the program's size. Since this project uses IPC instead of C++ Addon, it is compatible not only with Node but also with Deno and Bun.

Moreover, this project supports .NET events and optional Python.NET-style type conversions, and also provides examples of common built-in .NET GUI frameworks. This makes writing GUI programs in Node PS1 for .NET very easy. However, Node API for .NET does not support these features, so you cannot write any GUI programs using only Node API for .NET.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+ (LTS version recommended)
  • PowerShell 5.1 (built-in on Windows 10/11)
  • .NET Framework 4.5+ (required by PowerShell 5.1, pre-installed on Windows 10/11)

Note: This project is Windows-only due to its dependency on PowerShell 5.1.

Examples

Please visit the node-ps1-dotnet-examples repository for working examples (WinForms, WPF, WebView2, etc.).

Testing

Please visit the testing.md file for testing instructions.
