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 🙏

accelerator-tool

The devtool for the Accelerator story framework (git repository, npm package), allowing quick creation of new projects, and new assets within them.

Installation

With a command-line shell of your choice, either install the program globally:

npm install -g accelerator-tool

or use the npx tool to temporarily download it and execute your command:

npx accelerator-tool whatever

Usage

There are several basic functions you can use with this tool.

Creating new stories

Use the create subcommand like so:

accelerator-tool create my-new-story [optional directory to create]

Creating story assets

Each of the following defaults to generating TypeScript code, but can be instructed to generate JavaScript code by appending -js to the name of the asset, e.g. passage for TypeScript and passage-js for JavaScript.

If you do not provide the story directory as the last positional argument, you must be in the root directory of an Accelerator story, containing a passages subdirectory.

accelerator-tool new passage my-new-passage

Creating new headers

accelerator-tool new header my-new-header

Creating new footers

accelerator-tool new footer my-new-footer
