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 🙏

AUREUS

Video Enhancer · Upscaler · RAW Lossless Converter

Interactive TUI ✦ Full CLI ✦ Local Web UI — Linux · Windows · macOS · Termux


🚀 One-line install

# via npm (global) — recommended
npm install -g @zetagoaurum/aureus

# or run instantly without installing
npx @zetagoaurum/aureus doctor

# or pure curl (no npm / no Node.js needed)
curl -fsSL https://registry.npmjs.org/@zetagoaurum/aureus/-/aureus-1.0.0.tgz | tar -xzO package/install.sh | bash

The installer automatically downloads & sets up everything that is missing on your machine:

| Dependency | How it's handled | |---|---| | Python 3.9+ | detected → auto-installed via pkg/apt/brew/winget if possible | | ffmpeg + ffprobe | package manager → static build downloaded to ~/.aureus/bin (no root needed) | | yt-dlp, rich, textual | installed into a dedicated venv ~/.aureus/venv | | The AUREUS engine | bundled inside this package — installed into the venv |

Then just run:

aureus              # interactive TUI (file manager, effects, live queue)
aureus server       # local Web UI → http://127.0.0.1:8765
aureus --help       # full CLI reference (aureus -h works too)
aureus doctor       # system check (RAM ≥ 8 GB, ffmpeg, yt-dlp)

✨ What it does

  • Upscale any video: 480p → 1080p, 720p, 1440p, 4K, 2×/4×, or custom WxH — Lanczos / Spline / XBR scalers, aspect ratio preserved.
  • RAW & lossless output — FFV1, uncompressed Y4M, Lossless H.264/HEVC, ProRes 4444, DNxHR 444. Not a single pixel lost after enhancement.
  • SDR ⇄ HDR — expand SDR into 10-bit BT.2020 PQ with HDR10 signaling, or tone-map HDR sources down for SDR devices (auto-detected).
  • Clarify — denoise (hqdn3d/NLMeans), deband, deblock, deinterlace.
  • Shaders & effects — CAS (FidelityFX-style) sharpen, unsharp mask, film grain, color boost, motion interpolation to 60 fps.
  • Links & embeds — paste a YouTube watch/embed/Shorts/youtu.be link (or 1000+ sites via yt-dlp) and convert straight to RAW/lossless.
  • Local files — mp4, mkv, mov, avi, webm, ts, and more.
  • Max compatibility mode — the superhd preset (H.264 CRF 16 + faststart) plays on virtually every device.
  • Spec gate — requires ≥ 8 GB RAM for conversions (override with --force / Proceed anyway).

🖥️ Examples

# 480p → 1080p, rawest possible output (FFV1 lossless)
aureus convert video480.mp4 -S 1080p -p raw --effects denoise:2,sharpen:0.5

# most compatible output for TVs/phones
aureus convert video.mp4 -S 1080p -p superhd --effects all

# YouTube link (embed links work too) → lossless
aureus url "https://www.youtube.com/embed/XXXX" -S 1080p -p lossless-x264

# SDR → HDR 4K
aureus convert video.mp4 -S 2160p -p hdr10 --hdr

# inspect anything
aureus info video.mp4
aureus presets
aureus effects

# web UI with drag & drop upload, file browser, live progress
aureus server --port 8765

⚙️ Where things live

| Path | Purpose | |---|---| | ~/.aureus/venv | dedicated Python environment (AUREUS + yt-dlp) | | ~/.aureus/bin | auto-downloaded ffmpeg/ffprobe (used automatically) | | ~/.local/bin/aureus | launcher created by the curl installer | | ./aureus_output | default output folder for conversions |

No pollution of your system Python — everything lives in ~/.aureus. Uninstall with npm rm -g @zetagoaurum/aureus && rm -rf ~/.aureus.

🇮🇩 Ringkas (Bahasa Indonesia)

npm i -g @zetagoaurum/aureus   # instal satu baris
aureus                          # TUI interaktif
aureus server                   # Web UI lokal
aureus --help                   # bantuan lengkap

Konversi video dari YouTube/link embed maupun file lokal ke output RAW lossless tanpa kompresi (FFV1/Y4M/lossless), upscale 480p→1080p→4K, efek SDR→HDR, shader sharpen CAS, denoise/deband/deblock, dan lainnya — semuanya bisa diatur dari TUI, CLI, atau Web UI. Spesifikasi minimal: RAM 8 GB untuk proses konversi (bisa di-force), ffmpeg & yt-dlp diunduh otomatis jika belum ada.

🩺 Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix | |---|---| | ffmpeg not found after install | aureus doctor — or install manually: apt/brew/winget/pkg install ffmpeg | | Download/YouTube fails (403) | ~/.aureus/venv/bin/pip install -U yt-dlp | | Blocked: "requires 8 GB RAM" | by design — add --force or tick Proceed anyway | | Windows: ffmpeg still missing after winget | open a new terminal (PATH refresh), or aureus doctor to verify | | RAW files are huge | expected — FFV1 ≈ 2–8 GB/min @1080p. Use superhd for sharing. |
