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 🙏

@pane-app/cli

v0.1.3

Published

Pane's command-line tool for extension authors: pane-ext creates, develops, checks and packs an extension package, and builds JavaScript and TypeScript with nothing but Node.js and npm

Readme

@pane-app/cli

pane-ext is Pane's command-line tool for extension authors. It creates, develops, checks and packs an extension package from the terminal, beside the Pane app.

Installing

npm install --save-dev @pane-app/cli
npx pane-ext dev          # or a script: "dev": "pane-ext dev"

The platform packages release in lockstep with this one, at the same version, so an install always matches.

Commands

  • pane-ext new writes a package from a template.
  • pane-ext dev builds a package in the terminal, so cargo's, tsc's and esbuild's errors appear there, and hands each build to the running Pane.
  • pane-ext check reports everything Pane would refuse at install, with Pane's own messages.
  • pane-ext pack builds the release components and assembles what users download.

What you need

A JavaScript or TypeScript package needs nothing but Node.js and npm. pane-ext carries the componentizer (Pane's patched componentize-qjs, which builds WASI 0.3 components), the QuickJS runtime.wasm and the WASI 0.3 libc.so in the platform package. It takes esbuild as an ordinary dependency of this package.

A Rust package needs rustup's stable toolchain with the wasm32-wasip2 target, and the pane-extension SDK from crates.io.

How the program reaches your system

This package holds only a small JavaScript shim, the way esbuild, biome and turbo ship their tools. The pane-ext program itself is native. Each system gets it from one of this package's optionalDependencies, @pane-app/cli-<target>, one per platform:

  • cli-linux-x86_64
  • cli-linux-aarch64
  • cli-windows-x86_64
  • cli-windows-aarch64
  • cli-macos-x86_64
  • cli-macos-aarch64

npm installs the one whose os and cpu match, and the shim runs the program it holds.

If no platform package matches your system, or npm skipped one after a failed install, the shim says so and points at the fix:

npm install @pane-app/cli --force

Versions and publishing

The version follows the extension API and the tool together.

The repository's cli-packages workflow builds and packs the packages (run cargo xtask cli-package to assemble them). Publishing them is a person's step, never CI's.

Licensing

Pane's own files here are GPL-3.0-or-later (see LICENSE-GPL), like the pane-ext program the platform packages carry. The platform packages also carry the componentizer, which is Apache-2.0, and the wasm parts, whose licences their README records.
