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

Whisper Fetch

더 나은 UX를 위해 대용량 파일을 네트워크 아이들 상태에서 백그라운드에서 청크로 프리패치하는 라이브러리. Idle-aware, resumable background prefetch (Range + Abort) with OPFS/IDB storage. Next.js ready.

Features

  • Pause on foreground network activity; resume on idle
  • Adaptive chunk (512KB–4MB) + Range resume
  • OPFS streaming (Chrome) / IndexedDB fallback
  • SHA-256 integrity (optional)
  • Next.js CSR safe (SSR guarded)

Installation

npm install @jobkaehenry/whisper-fetch

Quick Start

import { BackgroundPrefetcher } from '@jobkaehenry/whisper-fetch';

const prefetch = new BackgroundPrefetcher({ url: 'https://cdn/.../file.bin' });
prefetch.start();

React:

import { usePrefetcher } from '@jobkaehenry/whisper-fetch/react';
const { progress, status, objectURL } = usePrefetcher({ url: '...' });

Options

  • allowOnCellular (default false): Allow prefetch on cellular networks
  • respectSaveData (default true): Respect user's data saver mode
  • minDownlinkMbps (default 2): Minimum network speed
  • chunkSize omit → adaptive based on network
  • integritySha256 for on-complete verification
  • store: 'opfs' | 'idb' (default 'opfs' with fallback)

    • url: string Target file URL
    • allowOnCellular?: boolean
    • respectSaveData?: boolean
    • minDownlinkMbps?: number
    • chunkSize?: number
    • integritySha256?: string
    • onProgress?: (downloaded: number, total?: number) => void
    • onStatus?: (status: 'started'|'paused'|'resumed'|'stopped'|'completed'|'error', error?: any) => void
  • start(): Promise<void> Begin background prefetch respecting idle.
  • pause(): void Pause immediately.
  • resume(): Promise<void> Resume respecting idle.
  • stop(): void Stop and cleanup.
  • getObjectURL(): Promise<string|null> Assembled Blob URL if available.

const { status, progress, start, pause, resume, stop, objectURL } = usePrefetcher({
  url: 'https://cdn/.../file.bin',
  integritySha256: '...optional...'
});

Advanced

  • Storage: OPFS first (Chrome), fallback to IDB chunk-append + assemble.
  • Integrity: If integritySha256 provided, SHA-256 verified on assembled Blob.
  • Idle-aware: Defers when foreground network activity detected; resumes on idle.
