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 🙏

@tinoy/pi-build

v0.4.0

Published

Run a build, compile, lint or typecheck command with bounded output, and report the exit code, the error lines and the log path.

Readme

[!WARNING] Do not install anything here yet.

This is a fast-moving prototype: the interfaces change without notice, and nothing here is stable. Every package in this project is headed for a stable 1.0, but that is still some way off. Install one only if you intend to follow the code and expect breakage.

@tinoy/pi-build

Run a build, compile, lint or typecheck command with bounded output, and report the exit code, the error lines and the log path.

pi install npm:@tinoy/pi-build

What it needs at call time

a shell and the toolchain the command itself uses. Nothing is probed at load, and an unknown command is the command's own failure, reported with its exit code.

Registers

build

Crew isolation

A crew worker's build runs against that worker's own output, cache and temporary directories, exported into the spawned environment so two workers never contend on target/, node_modules or a bundle output tree. The store that holds those roots belongs to the io-guard package (@tinoy/pi-io-guard — ioRoot() in claims.ts, identityHolder() in identity.ts), and this package reaches it through a guarded dynamic import resolved on the first build call — never at load.

Without that package the tool still works: the build runs with the session's own environment and its log goes to /tmp/pi-build-logs, and the absence is reported once by name on the diagnostics log, with the install hint. @tinoy/pi-io-guard is declared as an optional peer, so npm never installs it for you and never fails because it is missing.

Works better with

| Neighbour | You gain | You lose without it | Install | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | @tinoy/pi-io-guard | a crew worker's build runs against its own output, cache and temp tree, which no other worker shares | every build runs in the shared session environment and its log lands under /tmp/pi-build-logs | pi install npm:@tinoy/pi-io-guard |

Caveats

One soft neighbour: @tinoy/pi-io-guard, described under "Crew isolation" above and declared in the table.

Dependencies

pi-supplied imports (@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent, typebox) are peer dependencies with a * range and are never bundled. @tinoy/pi-io-guard is an optional peer. Plain dependencies: @tinoy/pi-ext-lib.
