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

repopulse

Interactive terminal chart for visualizing how a git repository grows over time.

repopulse screenshot

repopulse reads first-parent history, computes cumulative LOC snapshots, picks a fitting default resolution, and renders an interactive terminal chart. The default view is a line chart.

Install

Local:

bun install
bun run index.ts ../your-repo

After publishing:

bunx @seanwessmith/repopulse ../your-repo

Usage

repopulse [repo-path] [day|week|month|quarter|year]

Examples:

bun run index.ts
bun run index.ts ../gastown
bun run index.ts ../gastown day

If you omit the period, repopulse automatically chooses the finest resolution that fits the current terminal width.

Controls

  • left / right or h / l: move selection
  • g / G: jump to start or end
  • d / w / m / p / y: switch period
  • v: toggle line or bar chart
  • q: quit

Notes

  • Uses git log --first-parent so the chart follows the main branch timeline.
  • Values are total LOC snapshots, not per-period deltas.
  • History is cached inside the repo’s .git directory for faster repeat runs.

Publish

See PUBLISHING.md.

Launch
