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 🙏

VMZ Monaco editor adapter - <Monaco>

Readme

@vmz/plugin-monaco

Bring an IDE-class editor to the browser

@vmz/plugin-monaco integrates Monaco for VMZ applications that genuinely need a rich code-editing experience: browser IDEs, serious language playgrounds, configuration workbenches, and professional developer tools.

When Monaco is the right answer

Monaco is familiar to many developers because it powers the editing experience behind VS Code. That capability comes with a meaningful browser cost. It is the right choice when editing is central to the product and advanced editor behavior justifies the payload; it is not the automatic choice for a small form field or a documentation snippet.

For lighter embedded editing, choose @vmz/plugin-codemirror. The distinction is intentionally product-oriented rather than ideological: VMZ should let an application choose the right interaction tool while still keeping delivery and resumption boundaries visible.

VMZ boundary

Monaco owns the editor experience. VMZ owns the surrounding page, its SSR fallback, the Island or client boundary that loads Monaco, and the test and deployment evidence for that boundary. This prevents one rich widget from turning the whole application into an eager client runtime.

Features worth paying for 🚀

  • Familiar IDE-style editing for developer audiences.
  • A foundation for rich language services, diagnostics, navigation, and completion.
  • Strong fit for multi-file playgrounds and browser workbenches.
  • An interaction surface substantial enough to justify an isolated delivery boundary.

Monaco works best when users arrive to edit, inspect, or debug code. VMZ's Island and application boundaries make that tradeoff explicit: deliver the IDE when the user reaches the IDE experience.
