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

pi-extension-manager

Extension Manager browser and settings editor

Pi package manager and separate settings editor for vstack-installed Pi packages.

Install

Via npm:

pi install npm:@vanillagreen/pi-extension-manager

Via vstack:

cargo install --git https://github.com/vanillagreencom/vstack.git vstack
vstack add vanillagreencom/vstack --pi-extension pi-extension-manager --harness pi -y

Restart Pi after installation.

Commands

| Command | Action | | --- | --- | | /extensions | Open the package manager: browse packages, enable/disable, inspect install source, uninstall, and run available updates. | | /extensions:settings | Open the settings editor for packages that expose vstack settings. | | /extensions:enable | Recovery command available only when the manager is disabled; re-enable it, then run /reload. |

UI notes

  • /extensions shows installed packages only. Selecting a package shows status, source path, install source (NPM, Vstack, or Unknown), versions, update state, and declared extension entrypoints.
  • Active/inactive/broken status is shown with ●/○/×; packages with a newer version show Update Needed.
  • alt+x enables/disables the selected package, alt+u updates a package when an update is available, alt+d uninstalls, and alt+a opens diagnostics/audit. In diagnostics, backspace returns to the package list.
  • alt+shift+e and F11 open the extension manager popup; alt+shift+s and F12 open the settings popup.
  • /extensions:settings starts with All, then one tab per package with settings. Type to filter, Enter to toggle/edit, and Esc to cancel. The popup keeps a fixed height and pads blank space under short filtered lists.
  • Inline setting editors support cursor movement: ←/→, Home/End, alt+←/alt+→ word movement, Backspace/Delete, and Ctrl+U clear.
  • For packages declaring pi.appendSystem in package.json, enabling/disabling and uninstalling syncs the corresponding block in the scope's APPEND_SYSTEM.md (added on enable/install, removed on disable/uninstall).

Settings are stored under vstack.extensionManager in Pi settings.json files so they do not collide with Pi's top-level extensions array.

Runtime limits

Pi does not currently expose APIs to add a native tab to its built-in settings UI or unload an already-loaded extension module. Package enable/disable and package updates therefore take effect after /reload or restart when live unloading is not possible.
