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 🙏

## Requirements and Installation

Readme

KAB Tools

Requirements and Installation

Follow the normal Brezel installation instructions, e.g. from the docs.

Setup

KAB Page

For local testing, you need a working instance of PageDepot running.

In your environment file, configure the following variables:

PAGE_DEPOT_INSTANCE_IDENTIFIER=kab
PAGE_DEPOT_WS_HOST=127.0.0.1:6001
PAGE_DEPOT_SECRET=xyz

You can choose PAGE_DEPOT_INSTANCE_IDENTIFIER however you like. PAGE_DEPOT_WS_HOST must point to your running PageDepot websockets server (the PageDepot web server is running on 3000 by default, the WS server on 6001). Choose PAGE_DEPOT_SECRET to match your PageDepot's configured DEPOT_SECRET variable.

When building a page, the communication to PageDepot runs in a queued process. Your Brezel queue worker must be running.
