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 🙏

v0.2.2

Published

Loom branding and a startup notice for published Loom updates in Pi.

Readme

pi-loom

Loom's woven logo in Pi's header, with a startup notice when a newer Loom CLI is ready to install.

Try it

From a checkout of this repository, with Pi 0.85.1 or newer:

pi -e ./plugins/pi-loom/index.ts

To keep it installed:

pi install ./plugins/pi-loom

Loom setup installs this package automatically whenever Pi is installed or selected. Restart Pi after installing to run the startup check.

Behavior

  • Replaces Pi's header with a purple, 24-column Unicode braille rendering of the supplied Loom logo, with the name aligned at the top. Narrow terminals show just Loom. Pi's other UI and native update notices remain unchanged.
  • At interactive process startup, runs loom --version and reads the Loom executable pin from the published manifest. It does not use GitHub's latest release, which could belong to a different component.
  • If that stable version is newer, shows: Loom update available: VERSION. Run loom update or use the /loom skill to update. The skill must be installed separately; loom update always remains the direct command.
  • Never installs anything or changes Pi settings. Checks run in the background, with a 1.5-second command timeout and a four-second overall deadline. Missing Loom, unrecognized/development versions, and network failures stay quiet.
  • Skips checks in headless modes and with PI_OFFLINE=1, true, or yes. Switching, forking, or reloading sessions rebrands the header without repeating the check. Shutdown cancels pending work and suppresses late notices.

Only one extension can own Pi's header; another header extension may replace this one. Remove pi-loom with pi remove ./plugins/pi-loom (from the same checkout) and reload to return to Pi's normal header.

Development

From the repository root:

node --experimental-strip-types --test test/pi-loom.test.ts
npm run check
npm run audit
