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 🙏

v0.3.0

Published

Build your founder profile from your real work. Run it in a repo, get a brag-worthy build card.

Readme

apparent

Make your real work apparent to the investors who fund builders.

npx apparent

Run it in a repo (or point it at your whole workspace) and apparent turns your build activity into a brag-worthy build card and a ready-to-claim founder profile on apparent.social.

Then find investors you can email right now — matched to what you're building:

npx apparent findinvestors

Your code never leaves your machine. apparent reads only local git stats (commit cadence, languages, project READMEs you choose to share) — never your source code — and nothing is uploaded until you review and confirm it.

v0.0.1 is a placeholder release. The full CLI is on the way — see the build blueprint in the Apparent repo (cli/BLUEPRINT.md).
