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

@lancetw/aiyu

Native-messaging host installer for the aiyu Chrome extension (aiyu — AI 譯語), which translates YouTube subtitles and selected web text into Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) using an AI CLI already on your own machine.

This npm package is the host half. It registers a small local bridge so the aiyu browser extension can call your installed claude / codex / agy CLI. The extension itself is installed from the Chrome Web Store.

Install

npx @lancetw/aiyu

Then restart your browser, click the aiyu icon → 「測試 host 連線」 (Test host connection).

By default the installer lets you choose which browsers to register (interactive checklist in a terminal). To skip the prompt:

npx @lancetw/aiyu --all                      # all detected browsers
npx @lancetw/aiyu --browsers=chrome,brave    # only these

Valid ids: chrome, canary, beta, dev, testing, chromium, edge, brave, arc.

Requirements

  • Node.js ≥ 20.12
  • One of these AI CLIs installed and signed in (requires that service's account):
    • claude — Anthropic Claude Code
    • codex — OpenAI Codex
    • agy — Google Antigravity
  • The aiyu extension installed from the Chrome Web Store

Without a CLI or without running this installer, the extension shows 「連線失敗」(connection failed). macOS / Linux are verified; Windows is experimental.

Uninstall

npx @lancetw/aiyu --uninstall                    # remove from all browsers
npx @lancetw/aiyu --uninstall --browsers=chrome  # remove from one only

What it does

npx @lancetw/aiyu copies the host to a stable location, generates a launcher pinned to your Node binary (no reliance on a shebang), and registers the native-messaging manifest for the browsers you choose (interactive by default; or --browsers=/--all). The host trusts both the off-store (unpacked-dev) and Chrome Web Store extension IDs, so either build connects.

Privacy

aiyu has no developer server and collects no data. The text you translate goes only — under your own account, via the CLI you installed — to that provider (Anthropic / OpenAI / Google); it never passes through the developer. See the privacy policy.
