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 🙏

@emdash-cms/registry-cli

v0.1.0

Published

CLI for publishing plugins to the EmDash plugin registry, and searching it from the terminal. Atproto OAuth, FAIR-shaped records, sandboxed-plugin-only.

Readme

@emdash-cms/registry-cli

CLI for the experimental EmDash plugin registry.

EXPERIMENTAL: bundle, login, whoami, switch, and publish all work today against any atproto PDS — publish writes profile + release records to the publisher's own repo. The discovery commands (search, info) need an aggregator; none is deployed yet, so those won't return useful results until one is. NSIDs and shapes will change while RFC 0001 is in flight; pin to an exact version.

Installation

npx @emdash-cms/registry-cli bundle

Or install globally:

npm install -g @emdash-cms/registry-cli
emdash-registry bundle

Commands

emdash-registry login <handle-or-did>          Interactive atproto OAuth login
emdash-registry logout [--did <did>]           Revoke the active session
emdash-registry whoami                         Show stored sessions
emdash-registry switch <did>                   Switch the active publisher session
emdash-registry search <query>                 Free-text search
emdash-registry info <handle-or-did> <slug>    Show package details
emdash-registry bundle                         Bundle a plugin source dir into a tarball
emdash-registry publish --url <url>            Publish a release that points at a hosted tarball

All commands accept --json. Discovery commands accept --aggregator <url> (or EMDASH_REGISTRY_URL).

Publishing

Three steps. The CLI does not host artifacts — you do, anywhere public.

emdash-registry bundle
# upload dist/<id>-<version>.tar.gz somewhere public
emdash-registry publish --url https://example.com/foo-1.0.0.tar.gz

On first publish, pass --license and --security-email (or --security-url) to bootstrap the package profile.

Programmatic API

import { bundlePlugin } from "@emdash-cms/registry-cli";

const result = await bundlePlugin({ dir: "./my-plugin" });

For discovery and credentials, import from @emdash-cms/registry-client.
