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 🙏

v1.0.1

Published

Micro web server runs on nodejs, very simple. Has a little blue hat with a bell on it.

Readme

Noddy is a tiny local nodejs webserver.

Use ctrl + c to quit the server.

It is available on npm at: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@lucsan/noddy

You might like to add this to your package.json scripts "noddy": "cd ./node_modules/@lucsan/noddy/ && node wave.js" or move the noddy folder to be the webroot. (You could also re-route the portal folder)

Launch Noddy on the command line with: node wave.js

It is intended as an out-of-the-box, local dev, quick and dirty way to test or run php scripts on a node server.

It can run any kind of script, but it only configured for php and javascript.

It requires nodejs to be installed.

To run php, php-cli needs to be installed.

This is a minimalistic server, the intent being to have a fast, small footprint webserver primarily to test php and javascript code, however with minor modification it could run bash, python etc, basically anything on your system which can be shelled out to.

WARNING: ATM Noddy is not optimized for anything and is not suitable for commercial use or use in production.

Any resemblance to characters or people real or fictional, living, dead or undead, is purely coincidental, even if they do have a blue hat with a bell on it. Isn't that right Big Ears?
