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 with Window

⚠️ Alpha — expect breaking changes.

A cross-platform windowing library for Node.js with an Electron-compatible API. Uses WPF + WebView2 on Windows and GTK 4 + WebKitGTK on Linux.

Install

npm install @devscholar/node-with-window

On Windows, also download the WebView2 SDK DLLs:

node node_modules/@devscholar/node-with-window/scripts/webview2-install.js install

Quick start

Use nww-forge to scaffold a new app:

npx @devscholar/nww-forge init my-app
cd my-app
npm start

See docs/quick-start.md for a step-by-step guide.

Prerequisites

Windows

  • Node.js 18+
  • PowerShell 5.1
  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • WebView2 runtime (pre-installed on Windows 11; install from Microsoft on Windows 10)

Linux

  • Node.js 18+
  • GJS (GNOME JavaScript runtime)
  • GTK 4
  • WebKitGTK 6.0

These are typically pre-installed on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / GNOME desktops. If missing:

sudo apt install gjs gir1.2-gtk-4.0 gir1.2-webkit-6.0

macOS

Due to the limited energy of the developers, this project does not currently support macOS. If there is a real need, you can submit an issue for feedback. The author of this project cannot afford to buy a MacBook, so he can only accept installing a Hackintosh virtual machine on Windows. Because this project does not require compiling native components and plans to use JXA technology as the backend, Apple's decision to stop releasing new x86 versions of macOS theoretically has no impact on this project.

API

The API mirrors Electron — replace import ... from 'electron' with import ... from '@devscholar/node-with-window'.

Examples

See node-with-window-examples.

Developing

After making changes to node-with-window itself, rebuild:

cd node-with-window && npm run build
