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 🙏

CLI to skip boring Vite + Tailwind setup

Skips is a zero-configuration CLI tool that scaffolds modern Vite projects with Tailwind CSS v4 in seconds. No more manual setup of Tailwind plugins, config files, or boilerplate cleaning—Skips handles it all!

🚀 Features

  • Lightning Fast: Full project ready in under 60 seconds.
  • Tailwind CSS v4: Auto-installs @tailwindcss/vite (official Vite plugin).
  • Clean Slate: Removes Vite defaults (counter apps, extra assets/CSS).
  • Custom Starters: Optimized App.tsx/jsx with Tailwind dark-mode ready UI.
  • Git Ready: Auto git init, initial commit, main branch setup.
  • VS Code: Opens project automatically (if available).
  • Templates: React + TypeScript, React + JavaScript, Vanilla JS.

📦 Installation

# Global installation
npm install -g @jodijonatan/skips

skips

# Or Run without installing (using npx)
npx @jodijonatan/skips

Follow the prompts:

  1. Project name: Defaults to my-new-app.
  2. Template: Choose React+TS, React, or Vanilla JS.

Skips will:

  1. Scaffold Vite project.
  2. Install dependencies + Tailwind v4.
  3. Clean & copy optimized templates.
  4. Init Git repo with first commit.
  5. cd into project & npm run dev

📋 Supported Templates

| Template | Description | Vite Config | App File | | ---------- | ------------------ | ----------- | ----------------------- | | react-ts | React + TypeScript | TS | App.tsx | | react | React + JavaScript | JS | App.jsx | | vanilla | Vanilla JavaScript | JS | main.js + style.css |

All include:

  • Tailwind v4 via @tailwindcss/vite.
  • Minimal index.css with @import "tailwindcss";.
  • Dark-mode ready starter UI.

🛠 What's Generated

my-app/
├── vite.config.js|ts     # Tailwind v4 + React/Vanilla
├── src/
│   ├── App.tsx/jsx       # Clean Tailwind starter
│   ├── index.css         # @import tailwindcss

├── .git/                 # Initialized
└── README.md             # Vite defaults

🔧 Customization

Edit files in ./templates/:

  • App.tsx: Starter component.
  • index.css: Tailwind imports.
  • vite.config.*.js: Vite + Tailwind config. Changes apply to new projects instantly.

Note: CLI prompts are bilingual (English/Indonesian) for broader accessibility.

❗ Troubleshooting

  • Dependency Errors: Skips uses --legacy-peer-deps internally.
  • Global Install Issues: Ensure Node.js ≥18, npm ≥9.
  • VS Code: Install VS Code CLI if auto-open fails.

🤝 Contributing

Fork, create a feature branch, PR to main. Templates live in /templates/.
