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

@wernerglinka/in-situ-editor

The in-situ editor: an in-site, section-builder admin for Metalsmith structured-content sites, with Chrome built-in AI and Netlify Identity publishing.

npm: version license: MIT

This package is the editor's published, editor-only instance. It is generated from the editor's dev fixture by export-editor.mjs; do not hand-edit the copied surface here — change it in the fixture and re-export.

Install

Inside a freshly cloned starter-derived site:

npx @wernerglinka/in-situ-editor

This vendors the editor into your site (you own and commit the copied files — that is the point of an in-situ editor) and prints the remaining wiring:

  1. npm install metalsmith-site-data metalsmith-bundled-components
  2. Wire the plugins into metalsmith.js (emit the editor schema from metalsmith-bundled-components with schema: { enabled: true }; place pagesArtifact() before collections() and dataArtifact() after it, before permalinks()).
  3. Make sure the site loads its data files into metadata().data before dataArtifact() runs.
  4. Set up Netlify Identity + the publish Function's GitHub PAT (the PAT lives only in the Function, never the client).
  5. Review the POC globals in lib/layouts/admin.njk (window.AUTHORS, locales).
  6. Build, then open /admin/?admin=true. Sign in to edit and publish.

Re-run with --force to overwrite an existing install.

Add --dev to also copy the distribution scripts into the site, turning it into a self-contained dev fixture you can develop the editor in and re-export from (node scripts/export-editor.mjs <dir>). A plain content install omits it.
