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

devto CLI

A simple CLI for posting to dev.to. This tool was inspired by Dev.to VSCode Extension made by Tim Deschryver.

Who is it for?

Do you like to write articles? Are you a programmer? Do you want to make it dead simple to write and post to dev.to?

Then either the VSCode Extension, or this CLI will help you out!

How to use this

You can:

  1. Globally install the tool npm install --global @hagnerd/devto or yarn global add @hagnerd/devto and then use it in the command line with devto <commang>.
  2. Use it with npx npx @hagnerd/devto <command> which avoids having to install it globally.

Commands

devto new [TITLE]

Generates a new blog post, which consists of a folder, a markdown file, and a .devto.json file which will be gitignored by default. This will contain the post id, url, and the path to the file to make publishing more ergonomic.

If you pass a title, make sure to wrap it in strings. If you do not pass a title, you will be prompted for one, in which case you do not need to wrap it in strings.

I know, not great, but this is a quick prototype and unfortunately this was the easiest way to get it to work.

devto publish

If you are in a directory that has a .devto.json file with a valid path to a markdown file with at least a title field in the frontmatter, then it will attempt to push the article up to dev.to

It will prompt you for a dev.to API key the first time you publish and article, and after that it will save a global config with the key to a .devto file in your home directory. Make sure to globally ignore it in git if you are concerned with your API key getting out.

If you are NOT in a directory that has a .devto.json file or there isn't a valid path, you will be prompted to provide a relative path to a file that meets those requirements.

devto dashboard

This command opens up dev.to/dashboard in your default browser.

devto reset

Deletes your global config file (located at .devto in your home directory). The next time you attempt to publish an article, it will re-prompt you for your API key.
