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 🙏

A CLI for Spotify Connect

Readme

spotify-control

A CLI for Spotify Connect. I built this so that I could use it with skhd to be able to control whichever Spotify Connect device happens to be playing, without having to have the Spotify Desktop Client open.

Installing

npm install --global @hughrawlinson/spotify-control

Config

A json file called ~/.config/spotify-control.json, containing a client_id and client_secret. You can register a client id and secret at developer.spotify.com/dashboard. You can specify an alternative file using the -c flag.

From there, you run spotify-control login, which will log you in and auth you up.

Usage

  Usage: spotify-control [options] [command]

  Options:

    -V, --version        output the version number
    -c, --config <path>  Set config path. Defaults to ~/.config/spotify-control.json
    -h, --help           output usage information

  Commands:

    login [options]
    next
    previous
    toggle
    play [options]
    pause
    printconfig

spotify-control works well with skhd, the simple hotkey daemon for macOS. In fact, that's why I built it - so that I could use the media keys on my mac to control Spotify playing in the browser, or on my speakers. You can find an example configuration in example.skhdrc.
