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

@rtemis/launch

Start a local rtemis.server and open live.rtemis.org already authenticated.

Install & run

Run once without installing:

npx @rtemis/launch

Or install globally and use the rtemislive command:

npm install -g @rtemis/launch
rtemislive

To upgrade later: npm install -g @rtemis/launch@latest.

What it does:

  1. Generates a fresh token (crypto.randomUUID()).
  2. Starts the R server: Rscript -e 'rtemis.server::serve(port=5757, token="…")'.
  3. Starts ollama for the Chat panel, if installed (skipped if already running), with OLLAMA_ORIGINS=https://live.rtemis.org so the app is allowed to connect to it from the browser.
  4. Waits for the server to accept connections.
  5. Opens https://live.rtemis.org/#rtemis=<payload> in your default browser. The app reads the token from the URL hash (never sent to any server), connects to your local server, and strips the token from the address bar.

Press Ctrl-C to stop the server (and ollama, if we started it).

Options

| Flag / env | Default | Meaning | | ---------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------- | | --port <n> | 5757 | Port for rtemis.server | | RTEMIS_SERVER_PORT | 5757 | Same, via environment |

Requirements

  • Node.js ≥ 18
  • R with the rtemis.server package installed (Rscript on PATH)
  • ollama (optional — only for local LLM Chat)

Why the token is safe in the URL

The token travels in the URL fragment (#rtemis=…), which browsers keep client-side and never include in HTTP requests — so it never reaches the CDN that serves the static site, nor any access log. On load the app decodes it, connects to 127.0.0.1, and calls history.replaceState to remove it from the address bar and history.
