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

Flow CLI

A keyboard-first Markdown editor that runs entirely in your terminal.

Flow CLI is built for writing, not just editing files. It keeps Markdown as the source of truth while presenting headings, lists, blockquotes, code, tables, links, and images as a quiet, readable document.

Flow CLI editing a Markdown demo document

It is a real terminal editor rather than a browser view or a wrapper around another editor: input handling, grapheme-aware layout, widgets, selection, and incremental ANSI rendering are all implemented for the terminal.

Highlights

  • Edit, Focus, Read, and Source modes
  • Markdown-aware formatting and syntax concealment
  • Tables, links, images, math, code highlighting, and word counts
  • Keyboard and mouse selection, menus, and scrolling
  • Command palette, find and replace, clipboard integration, and configurable keybindings
  • Atomic autosave, recovery snapshots, and external-change detection
  • Built-in themes and configurable cursor behavior
  • Native images in Kitty-compatible terminals and iTerm2, with a colored character-cell fallback elsewhere
  • HTML and plain-text export

Install

On macOS and Linux, install the standalone binary with Homebrew:

brew install saturn9studio/flow-cli/flow-cli

On any platform with Node.js, install with npm:

npm install -g @saturn9/flow-cli

Then open or create a Markdown document:

flow-cli document.md

Starting without a path creates an untitled draft in the current directory. Documents are autosaved while you write.

Essential shortcuts

| Shortcut | Action | | --- | --- | | Ctrl+P | Open the command palette | | Ctrl+F / Ctrl+H | Find / replace | | F2 / F3 / F4 / F5 | Focus / Edit / Read / Source | | F10 | Open the menu bar | | Ctrl+, | Open settings | | Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V | Copy / cut / paste | | Ctrl+Q | Exit |

Command-modified clipboard shortcuts also work when the terminal forwards them.

Terminal support

Flow CLI works without a terminal-specific graphics or keyboard protocol. Compatible terminals automatically gain richer keyboard reporting and native image rendering. Images still render as colored terminal cells when native graphics are unavailable.

Development

Run npm run verify to build the project and run the test suite.
