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 🙏

@ifi/pi-remote-tailscale

v0.5.1

Published

Pi extension for secure remote session sharing with Tailscale URLs, QR codes, and TUI status widgets.

Readme

@ifi/pi-remote-tailscale

Pi extension for secure remote session sharing with Tailscale URLs, QR codes, and a compact TUI widget.

Why this exists

@ifi/pi-remote-tailscale brings the original pi-remote workflow into oh-pi, but reuses the shared @ifi/pi-web-server package for the HTTP and WebSocket transport layer.

This package focuses on:

  • secure per-session token auth
  • Tailscale HTTPS URLs for remote access
  • QR code output for phone and tablet handoff
  • an optional remote status widget inside the TUI
  • lightweight discovery metadata for active sessions

Install

pi install npm:@ifi/pi-remote-tailscale

Commands

Inside pi:

/remote
/remote stop
/remote:widget
/remote:widget off
/remote:widget on

What happens

When /remote starts a session, the extension:

  1. creates a PiWebServer via @ifi/pi-web-server
  2. generates a random session token
  3. attempts to publish a Tailscale HTTPS path
  4. shows local, LAN, or Tailscale connection details
  5. renders an optional widget and QR code

If Tailscale is unavailable, the extension falls back to LAN or localhost URLs.

Security notes

  • every session gets a fresh random token
  • tokens are compared with constant-time validation
  • QR links put the token in the query string, never the path
  • discovery metadata excludes the token
  • no secrets are written to logs

Remote mode

The package supports a remote-mode environment flag:

  • PI_REMOTE_TAILSCALE_MODE=remote

When this flag is present, the extension can auto-start remote sharing during session startup. This keeps the package compatible with PTY-based launcher flows while still allowing direct use in a normal pi session.

Development

Run the package tests directly:

pnpm exec vitest run --config packages/pi-remote-tailscale/vitest.config.ts --coverage
