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 🙏

ap-browser-connect

v0.1.31

Published

Drive your logged-in Chrome from any agent — CLI, native messaging host, and bridge

Readme

ap-browser-connect

Drive your already-logged-in Chrome from any agent (CLI, coding agent, or script).

npm install -g ap-browser-connect

Installs three commands:

| Command | Role | | --- | --- | | ap-browser | CLI — tabs, navigation, scraping, adapter commands | | ap-browser-host | Native messaging bridge between Chrome and the CLI | | ap-browser-bridge | TCP bridge for containerized testing |

What it installs

The package bundles the prebuilt binaries for all supported platforms (macOS arm64/x64, Linux arm64/x64, Windows x64) and exposes them via bin — no install scripts, no downloads at install time. bin/ is assembled from the GitHub release by npm/build.sh before publishing.

Platforms: macOS (arm64/x64), Linux (arm64/x64), Windows x64 (experimental).

Next steps

The CLI needs the Chrome extension loaded and the native messaging manifest installed before commands will work:

  1. Download ap-browser-extension-<version>.zip from the latest release and load it unpacked at chrome://extensions (Developer mode → Load unpacked) — Chrome requires this manual step.

  2. Install the site adapters:

    git clone https://github.com/autopoies/ap-browser-connect-adapters.git
    mkdir -p ~/.ap-browser
    cp -R ap-browser-connect-adapters/sites ~/.ap-browser/
    cp ap-browser-connect-adapters/download-config.yml ~/.ap-browser/
  3. Verify: ap-browser ping
