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-pretty

npm version GitHub release

A pi extension that upgrades built-in tool output in the terminal without changing tool behavior.

It currently enhances:

  • read: syntax-highlighted text previews with line numbers, plus inline image rendering when the terminal supports it
  • bash: colored exit summary (exit 0/exit 1) with a preview body of command output
  • ls / find / grep: Nerd Font file icons with tree/grouped layouts and clearer match rendering

Companion to @heyhuynhgiabuu/pi-diff for write/edit diff rendering.

Install

pi install npm:@heyhuynhgiabuu/pi-pretty

Latest release: https://github.com/buddingnewinsights/pi-pretty/releases/latest

Or load locally:

pi -e ./src/index.ts

Screenshots

Bash and read rendering bash exit summary + output preview, and syntax-highlighted read text output.

Icons and grep rendering ls/find/grep with Nerd Font icons and grouped/tree-oriented rendering.

Inline image rendering read rendering an image inline in supported terminals.

Terminal support for inline images

Inline image previews are supported in Ghostty, Kitty, iTerm2, and WezTerm.
When running in tmux, pi-pretty uses passthrough escape sequences so inline image protocols still work.

Configuration

Optional environment variables:

  • PRETTY_THEME (default: github-dark)
  • PRETTY_MAX_HL_CHARS (default: 80000)
  • PRETTY_MAX_PREVIEW_LINES (default: 80)
  • PRETTY_CACHE_LIMIT (default: 128)
  • PRETTY_ICONS (nerd by default, set to none to disable icons)

Development

npm install
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm test
