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

@sherizan/proto-cli

The Prototo CLI. Inside a Prototo project, runs Metro and opens the iOS Simulator with your prototype.

The npm package keeps its historical proto-cli name (and the bin is proto). The brand is Prototo — see prototo.app.

You usually don't install this directly. It's a transitive dependency of create-proto and ships pre-wired in every Prototo project scaffold. Just run npm create proto@latest myapp and you have proto available.

Commands

proto start         # boot Metro + open iOS Simulator with the prototype
proto new-screen    # scaffold a new screen
proto reset         # clear caches if Metro misbehaves
proto design        # interactive: theme + accent + component library

Requirements

  • macOS with Xcode + iOS Simulator (for the Simulator preview)
  • Node.js 18+
  • Run from inside a Prototo project (one created via npm create proto@latest)

What proto start does

  1. Kills any stale Metro on port 8081
  2. Starts the prompt server on port 3001
  3. Spawns npx expo start --ios — Expo's native output prints below

That's it. Designers see Expo's real QR + dev menu. No wrapper theater.
