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

Node with GJS

⚠️ This project is still in pre-alpha stage, and API is subject to change.

This is a project that brings GNOME's GJS (GObject Introspection JavaScript runtime) to Node.js, allowing you to use GTK4 and WebKit from JavaScript/TypeScript with a Node.js-like API. Since this project uses IPC instead of C++ Addon, it is compatible not only with Node but also with Deno and Bun.

Requirements

  • Linux with GTK4 and WebKitGTK 6.0 installed
  • Node.js 18+ (LTS version recommended, or Deno/Bun)
  • bash (for Unix pipe IPC)

Installation

Note: These packages are supposed to be pre-installed with GNOME-based Linux distros:

For Ubuntu/Debian:

apt install libgtk-4-1 libwebkitgtk-6.0-0 gjs

For Fedora:

dnf install gtk4 webkitgtk6.0 gjs

For Arch Linux:

pacman -S gtk4 webkitgtk-6.0 gjs

Usage

For more examples and details, see the node-with-gjs-examples README.

Tests

Run all tests:

npm test

For detailed testing documentation, see docs/testing.md.
