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

pi-package-manager

pi-package-manager keeps your Pi packages up-to-date and shows you what happened, right inside Pi.

What you get

  • automatic package update checks when Pi starts
  • a visible progress UI while Pi checks or updates packages
  • /package-manager status to see whether updates are available
  • /package-manager update to run the update flow on demand
  • /package-manager install to install a Pi package from an entered source
  • /package-manager uninstall to remove one or more installed Pi packages from a checkbox-style picker
  • a final result card in Pi so you can review the latest outcome
  • automatic Pi reload after a successful startup update

Install only this extension

pi install npm:@gaosh3n/pi-package-manager

Then restart Pi or run /reload.

How to use it

Let it run on startup

Start Pi normally. If package updates are available, Pi Package Manager checks for them, shows progress in Pi, and reports the result when it finishes.

Check package status

Run:

/package-manager status

You will get a status card in Pi showing whether updates are available and summarizing the latest package update result.

Run a package update

Run:

/package-manager update

Pi will run the update flow for you, show live progress, and record the final result in the transcript.

Install a package

Run:

/package-manager install

Pi will prompt you for a package source such as npm:@foo/bar or git:github.com/user/repo, run the native pi install ... flow, and show a final result card. After a successful install, run /reload to activate the installed package resources.

Uninstall package(s)

Run:

/package-manager uninstall

Pi will show a checkbox-style package picker. Use to toggle package selection, then press Enter to confirm. Pi runs native pi uninstall <source> once per selected package and shows one final result card. After successful or partial removal, run /reload to deactivate removed package resources.
