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

BTW for Pi

Ask a quick side question without derailing the main conversation.

What you can do

  • Opens a small side-question view over the current session.
  • Lets you ask something unrelated without losing your main task.
  • Summarizes your current goal, progress, next step, and uncertainty with /btw-status.
  • Can copy a useful answer back into the main conversation.
  • Works in both the terminal and Pi Web UI.

Install

Install it through Pi:

pi install npm:@firstpick/pi-extension-btw

Restart Pi if the package does not appear in your current session.

How to use it

Ask a side question with /btw <question>. If the answer matters to the main task, use the transfer action to bring it back.

/btw what was the config file name again?

For a quick progress check, run:

/btw-status

/btw-status asks the selected model for a concise, transcript-based summary of the current goal, completed and active work, remaining todos and next step, and any blockers or uncertainty. Each run uses a fresh snapshot of the main-session transcript. The result streams under the label Current session, goal, and todo status in the BTW overlay or Pi Web UI output card.

Terminal overlay keys:

  • ↑ / ↓ — scroll
  • PageUp / PageDown — scroll faster
  • Home / End — jump to top/bottom
  • Enter, Space, Esc, Ctrl+C — close the overlay; if the side request is still running, it is aborted
