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

@tynd/host

Prebuilt native host binaries for Tynd — tynd-full.exe and tynd-lite.exe (plus the platform variants).

Prerequisites

Bun is required — the postinstall script is bun run install.ts and the parent @tynd/cli toolchain is Bun-only. Node.js will not run it.

# macOS / Linux / WSL
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

# Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -c "irm bun.sh/install.ps1 | iex"

Install

bun add @tynd/host

You almost certainly don't install this directly. @tynd/cli's tynd create adds it as a peer automatically, and @tynd/core depends on it at runtime via the CLI's build pipeline.

What it ships

On bun install, a postinstall script downloads the matching native binary from the GitHub Release that corresponds to the package version:

| Platform | File | |---|---| | Windows x64 / arm64 | tynd-{full,lite}.exe | | macOS x64 / arm64 | tynd-{full,lite} | | Linux x64 / arm64 | tynd-{full,lite} |

Binaries land in node_modules/@tynd/host/bin/<plat>-<arch>/. The CLI's findBinary (in @tynd/cli) picks them up automatically at tynd dev / tynd build time.

Skipped inside the Tynd monorepo — if the path contains the workspace layout, postinstall exits early and lets cargo build produce the binaries from source instead.

What's inside the binaries

  • tynd-full — packs Bun alongside the native host and runs your TypeScript on Bun's JIT. Heavier binary, full npm support (including native bindings).
  • tynd-lite — embeds a lightweight JS engine inside the host binary. ~6.5 MB, no external runtime, pure-JS npm packages only.

Both share the same native host: the WebView event loop, the tynd:// + tynd-bin:// custom IPC schemes, and all OS APIs.

See RUNTIMES.md.

Building from source

If you don't want the prebuilt binaries:

cargo build --release -p tynd-full
cargo build --release -p tynd-lite

Linux dev deps:

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev libsoup-3.0-dev \
  libxdo-dev

Release integrity

Every release is built by .github/workflows/build-host.yml with matching actions/attest-build-provenance attestations. The workflow runs only on tagged commits.
