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

@rhizogrip/spore-plugin-browser

A browser for spores: the agents' own Chrome, reached over the Chrome DevTools Protocol and driven by agent-browser.

npm i -g @rhizogrip/spore-plugin-browser
google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=<a profile for the agents>
spore plugin allow browser cdp=9222

A spore uses it once its spore.cmk says plugins: [browser]. Its agent is given $SPORE_BROWSER, the agent-browser binary, configured by environment: the port, a session named after the spore, a tab of its own (AGENT_BROWSER_PIN_TAB), its socket in the spore's own socket directory ({sockets}/browser, which no other spore can write), and screenshots and downloads under data/browser/. The agent reads how to use it in plugins/browser.md in its workspace.

Chrome is the operator's. Spore never starts or stops it. Chrome 136 and later ignore the debugging switch on the default data directory, so the agents' Chrome has a profile of its own, holding the logins you give the agents and nothing else.

The port is shared on trust. It has no authentication, and the sandbox leaves TCP connect open, so any process on the machine can reach it — every spore, whether its definition names this plugin or not. plugins: [browser] says which spores are offered the browser, not which can reach it. Use a profile that holds nothing you would not hand to every spore on the machine.
