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

FlowHub: Flow management with GitHub

These are the Node-RED nodes that interact with FlowHub.org.

FlowHub.org is platform for managing flows using GitHub.

The aim is to make it easy to share flow-tabs amongst Node-RED developers.

Flows can be exported directly from the Node-RED editor to GitHub. Flows that have been edited but not deployed can be exported. Flows are taken from the editor not the Node-RED server.

Flows can be imported into the Node-RED editor using the pull node. Flows can be imported into new tabs or directly into existing tabs.

Screencasts

To learn more, check out the introduction screencast and the followup use case screencast.

Personal Usage

Generate your own FlowHub.org token to commit flows directly to your own GitHub repository. You will then be able to perform all functionalty of the FlowHub.org nodes on your own personal flows.

Details

Two articles are available that better describe my intentions in creating FlowHub.org:

In summary, the focus is on clarity of flow changes between revisions, on sharing of knowledge and collaboratively working on Node-RED flows.

Flow Based Programming has many useful features unfortunately FBP lacks the tooling around that exists around textual programming languages: testing (unit testing), development workflows (GitHub flow) and collaboration (code comparison). These features need to be recreated in a visual form for FBP to reach a broad audience.

Node: FlowHub - Pull

Node for importing flows from FlowHub.org. Flows may be imported into an existing tab or a new tab. This can also be included in flows so that there is an chaining of flows. That is, if a flow relys on anther flow, then an pull node can be included to import that second flow.

Sidebar: FlowHub - Push

Node for pushing in-editor flows to FlowHub.org. Flows do not need to be deployed to be exported.

By exporting any flows you accept the license as described below.

The entire flow-tab is exported to FlowHub.org, so beware what you export.

Pushing flows can now be done using your email and name, no API token is necessary. Be aware that email verification is necessary for every submission.

Sidebar: FlowHub - Diff

Compare the local version of a flow with the latest version at FlowHub.org.

Property panel for the diff node:

Double click opens the editor for the node.

License

All flows found here are licensed under the don't do evil license.

Usage of FlowHub.org implies adherence to that license..
