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

ReleaseKit

Hosted desktop releases from the command line.

GitHub stores source. ReleaseKit builds, signs, stores, approves, promotes, and rolls back releases.

npm install -g @sandbox-technologies/release-kit
release-kit login
release-kit preview

Build steps live in release-kit.yml. Managed builds require that file; ReleaseKit does not choose your app's install or build commands. There is no workflow file, GitHub environment, or publish target to choose.

Commands

| Command | What it does | | --- | --- | | release-kit login | Sign in with your ReleaseKit dashboard account | | release-kit select | Choose the active project | | release-kit preview | Build artifacts for the current branch | | release-kit publish production | Create a gated candidate for the stable feed | | release-kit publish nightly | Create a gated candidate for the nightly feed | | release-kit update | Update the ReleaseKit CLI to the latest npm version | | release-kit doctor | Check local CLI wiring |

release-kit update runs npm install -g @sandbox-technologies/release-kit@latest and leaves future release-kit invocations on the latest published CLI.

Production asks for a patch, minor, or major bump unless you pass --patch, --minor, or --major. Nightly creates a nightly prerelease version. Both lanes ask ReleaseKit cloud to update the configured app version files, commit that bump, push it, and create the candidate from the pushed commit.

Do not pass --version to managed publishes. ReleaseKit owns version selection so the cloud build, version commit, candidate, and lane baseline stay in sync.

CI

For automation, create a ReleaseKit project API key and expose it as:

RELEASE_KIT_TOKEN=rk_live_...

Lanes

Every project has exactly three lanes:

| Lane | Channel/feed | Behavior | | --- | --- | --- | | Production | stable | Gated final release feed | | Nightly | nightly | Gated prerelease feed | | Preview | internal | Branch artifacts only |

Production and Nightly are separate feeds. Publishing or promoting Nightly changes only nightly; publishing or promoting Production changes only stable. Both require ReleaseKit approval before their feed changes. Preview creates artifacts for inspection and does not publish a user-facing feed.

Documentation

Product docs live at release-kit.dev/docs.
