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 🙏

Browser automation with ngrok tunnel

Readme

Kaizen Desktop Client

A headless Chrome browser client that enables remote browser automation through an ngrok tunnel. This client is designed to work with the Kaizen API for remote browser control and automation.

What it Does

  1. Launches a headless Chrome browser with remote debugging enabled
  2. Creates a secure ngrok tunnel to expose the browser's debugging port
  3. Registers the remote desktop with the Kaizen API
  4. Maintains the connection until shutdown

Prerequisites

  1. Install Playwright globally:
npm install -g playwright
npx playwright install
npx playwright install-deps
  1. Install the Kaizen Desktop Client:
npm install -g @kaizenautomation/desktop-client

Environment Variables

The following environment variables are required:

NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN=your_ngrok_token
TRUCKSMARTER_REMOTE_DESKTOP_CLIENT_BEARER_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
KAIZEN_API_URL=https://api.kaizenautomation.com

Usage

Run with environment variables:

export NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN=your_ngrok_token
export TRUCKSMARTER_REMOTE_DESKTOP_CLIENT_BEARER_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
export KAIZEN_API_URL=your_api_url
kaizen-desktop-client

Or specify environment variables inline:

NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN=xxx \
TRUCKSMARTER_REMOTE_DESKTOP_CLIENT_BEARER_AUTH_TOKEN=yyy \
KAIZEN_API_URL=zzz \
kaizen-desktop-client

Cleanup

The client handles cleanup automatically on shutdown:

  • Closes the Chrome browser
  • Terminates the ngrok tunnel
  • Deregisters from the Kaizen API
