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 🙏

Verified downloader and cache for Rhendium browser builds

Readme

@rhendium/browser

Verified downloader and cache manager for Rhendium browser builds and the shared deterministic font pack.

npm install --save-dev @rhendium/browser
npx rhendium install
npx rhendium doctor

Installation creates Rhendium.* and Rhendium-GPU.* launchers at the cache root for default software rendering and hardware GPU rendering.

Browser binaries and fonts are separate immutable GitHub Release assets. This package verifies each asset's byte size and SHA-256 digest before installing it. Re-running the command reuses only assets whose completion marker matches the current digest. Interrupted installs recover stale locks automatically, while an active concurrent installer is reported with its PID and lock path.

The default cache directory is %LOCALAPPDATA%\rhendium on Windows, ~/.cache/rhendium on Linux, and ~/Library/Caches/rhendium on macOS. Version 0.1.4 automatically migrates the former rhendium-playwright directory without re-downloading it. Set RHENDIUM_BROWSERS_PATH to choose a different cache directory. For local development, set both RHENDIUM_EXECUTABLE_PATH and RHENDIUM_FONT_CONFIG.

See the Rhendium Playwright repository for the API and release policy.
