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 🙏

Academic paper search with Paperguide — API docs: https://helpcenter.paperguide.ai/api

Connection: an API key from Settings → API Keys, sent as x-api-key.

Quotas are small and per plan — Free is 10 calls a month at 5/min, Pro 500 a month at 30/min — so connection validation hits /usage, which costs no search quota. Use Get Usage to see what's left before a flow burns through it.

Actions

Search Papers — keyword and semantic search. Optional filters: Source (arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar), Field of Study (ten documented disciplines), Year, Limit. Results come back under results with title, authors, year, source, field, abstract and URL.

Format defaults to JSON. bibtex returns citation text instead of structured results — good for building a reference list, but a flow that loops over papers wants JSON. The parameter is only sent when you pick bibtex, so the piece doesn't pin a default the docs never promise.

Get Usage — quota and per-minute rate for the current billing period.

No triggers

Two endpoints is the entire documented surface: no paper-fetch, no library write, no webhook. There's nothing to build a trigger on.
