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 🙏

API Redirecter

Don't you hate it when a website doesn't allow cross origin requests? Consequently, you can't use XmlHttpRequest in the user's browser. This aims to fix that. This is a simple Node.js app that accepts any and all requests, issues said requests on the caller's behalf, and returns the resulting data.

Setup

This app is meant to be run on Heroku. However there's nothing stopping you from running it on something else (in fact, it should be fairly trivial to set it up on whichever machine you want). However, I'm only going to document the Heroku way.

To use it on Heroku:

  1. Clone this repo and push to Heroku.
  2. In the Config Variables section, set DOMAIN to be whatever you want it to be (i.e. https://www.thisisfake.com/api).

Domain Details

You must include the protocol (either http or https). Do not include a trailing slash (i.e. https://www.thisisfake.com/api is good; https://www.thisisfake.com/api/ is bad).

Return Values

A JSON will be returned in the following format:

  • statusCode will be how the server responded.
  • body will be the body of the response.
  • headers will be the headers that the server responded with.
  • request will be how this app sent the request.

Domain Restrictions

Do not use this for anything sensitive. The initial release of this app only allows the user to specify the path on a predetermined domain. Only header-less GET requests are supported. This is done partially to alleviate security concerns.
