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 🙏

How to release new version

npm version minor
git push --follow-tags

Big question of the day

How do I manage state?

Goal today is to start hooking it up to actual state

Should I worry about the state machine?

Fuck it let's draw it

How to manage drag and drop list state?

Design references

Release process

  • Trigger a release from command line (git hook?)

  • Automatically push (or notify) existing installs

  • Build for Windows and Mac

  • Worst case I can just do it locally on my computer

    • Don't need to overcomplicate it

Data model

  • Persist past runs somehow - should be some concept of shared state

Misc notes

  • Buttons
    • Start / stop
    • Pause
    • Trash / Clear
  • Show the current

What's the best way to represent this data?

Splits - each split has its own duration

Easiest is jut sum the the duration of splits

Launch stuff

  • Need release cycle / over the air updates

  • Website to download from

    • Should I use Netlify?
    • I could use something like Squarespace?
    • Don't want to open source the code yet
    • Lean on GitHub for now
  • Test on Windows

  • Maybe user analytics?

  • What was the release process again?

  • Ideally I just want to push a tag -> build -> auto update
