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

@sharptrick/parley-net-util

A tiny internal HTTP helper shared by Parley's HTTP chat backends (Zulip, Matrix, Discord, Telegram, Slack). It exports exactly two things:

  • fetchWithRetry(url, init, opts) — the one fetch + 429-retry loop. The caller passes a fully-formed init (auth headers + encoded body + optional signal); the helper retries 429 by honoring the caller's retryAfterOf(res) parser, stops the moment isStopped() is true, returns the Response on ok/allowStatuses, and otherwise throws <label> → <status>: <text>.
  • delay(ms) — a setTimeout promise (the single copy that replaces the per-plugin duplicates).

Why this is not bridge-core

bridge-core is a dependency-free seam that the non-HTTP backends (SQLite, Redis, NATS, Postgres) consume without any HTTP concerns. The retry loop lives here instead so core stays HTTP-free. Per-backend specifics that genuinely differ — auth-header building, body encoding, the Retry-After parser, and transport response shapes (Slack's ok:false envelope, XMPP IQ) — stay in each plugin. Only the loop/guard/cap/default/stopped semantics are shared.

Releases

This is a lockstep-published package: semantic-release publishes it alongside every other Parley package. Do not hand-edit its version.
