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

@pi-unipi/btw

Side conversations that run in parallel. Ask a question using /btw while the main agent keeps working — the answer streams into a modal overlay without interrupting the current task.

BTW opens a real Pi sub-session with coding-tool access. Use it to clarify something, explore an idea, or think through next steps without derailing the main turn. When you're ready, inject the thread back or summarize it.

Based on pi-btw by Dan Bachelder.

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | /btw [--save] <question> | Ask a question in a side thread | | /btw:new [question] | Start a fresh thread with main-session context | | /btw:tangent [--save] <question> | Contextless tangent thread | | /btw:clear | Dismiss modal and clear thread | | /btw:inject [instructions] | Send full thread to main agent | | /btw:summarize [instructions] | Summarize thread and inject into main agent |

Keyboard Shortcuts

| Key | Action | |-----|--------| | Alt+/ | Toggle focus between BTW and main editor | | Ctrl+Alt+W | Fallback focus toggle | | Esc | Dismiss BTW overlay | | PgUp/PgDn | Scroll transcript |

Examples

/btw what file defines this route?
/btw how would you refactor this parser?
/btw --save summarize the last error in one sentence
/btw:new let's start a fresh thread about auth
/btw:tangent brainstorm from first principles without using the current chat context
/btw:inject implement the plan we just discussed
/btw:summarize turn that side thread into a short handoff

Special Triggers

BTW is a standalone package. It doesn't register with other packages or trigger coexists behavior.

The BTW overlay opens top-centered so the main session remains visible underneath. The modal uses Pi's TUI system for consistent styling.

How It Works

  1. /btw creates or reuses a BTW sub-session
  2. Your question runs in a real Pi session with tool access
  3. The answer streams into the BTW modal overlay
  4. The thread continues until you clear it or inject it back

/btw:inject sends the full thread to the main agent as a user message. If Pi is busy, it queues as a follow-up. /btw:summarize does the same but summarizes first.

/btw:tangent starts a separate thread that doesn't inherit the main session's conversation context. Use it for unrelated exploration.

The --save flag saves that single exchange as a visible session note.

Configurables

BTW has no configuration. Thread state is session-scoped and clears when you dismiss it.
