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 🙏

Pipedream ScrapingAnt Components

Readme

Overview

The ScrapingAnt API allows you to scrape web pages without getting blocked. It can handle JavaScript rendering, cookies, sessions, and can even interact with web pages as if a real person were browsing. Using Pipedream, you can integrate ScrapingAnt with countless other apps to automate data extraction and feed this data into various business processes, analytics tools, or databases.

Example Use Cases

  • Scrape and Monitor Competitor Pricing: Extract pricing data from competitor websites and send alerts or log the data when changes are detected. Combine with Pipedream's cron scheduler to run this check regularly.

  • Aggregate News Articles for Trend Analysis: Scrape news articles from various sources to perform trend analysis or sentiment analysis. Use Pipedream's built-in code steps to process the scraped data, and perhaps send it to a Google Sheets document for further analysis.

  • Automate Job Listings Collection: Collect job listings from multiple career websites to create a consolidated list of opportunities. Integrate with Slack using Pipedream to send daily digests of new listings to a channel for job seekers.
