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 🙏

@unbrowse/ky-shim

v0.1.0

Published

Drop-in replacement for ky. A safe GET routes through Unbrowse's resolved-route cache ($0 on hit) and falls through to native fetch on miss — same callable default returning a ResponsePromise (json/text/blob/arrayBuffer/formData), get/post/put/patch/delet

Readme

@unbrowse/ky-shim

One-line drop-in for ky. $0 on cache hits, native Response on miss.

- import ky from 'ky';
+ import ky from '@unbrowse/ky-shim';

  const data = await ky('https://api.site.com/items').json();
  const res = await ky.post('https://api.site.com/items', { json: { name: 'x' } });

ky is already fetch-based, so the swap is exact. A safe GET routes through Unbrowse's marketplace cache first (free synthesized Response on a hit) and falls through to native fetch on a miss. The call returns ky's ResponsePromise — a Promise<Response> augmented with .json()/.text()/.blob()/.arrayBuffer()/ .formData(). Same callable default, get/post/put/patch/delete/head, create(), extend(), HTTPError/TimeoutError, throw-on-non-2xx.

Install

npm i @unbrowse/ky-shim

No API key required. Set UNBROWSE_API_KEY / UNBROWSE_X_PAYMENT to route paid endpoints; set UNBROWSE_KY_PASSTHROUGH=1 to disable cache routing entirely.

Honest scope

v0.1 covers the request/response surface most code uses (method, prefixUrl, searchParams, json, headers, timeout, throwHttpErrors, create(), extend()). The hooks, retry, and onDownloadProgress option graphs fall through to native fetch semantics.

Attribution

This shim mirrors the public surface of ky (MIT). Semantics are preserved — the shim only lowers cost on cache hits.
