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 🙏

Published

Let your friends know if you are around! Publish your status so friends can subscribe. All status updates are sent directly to your friends via peer to peer networks.

Readme

Are you around?

Let your friends know if you are around! Publish your status so friends can subscribe. All status updates are sent directly to your friends via peer to peer networks.

The app post updates and subscribes to friends via a peer-status-feed. So you can join the party outside of just the app!

Want a to see if your app is working but your friends aren't around? Meet Peer Robot! The friend that is always around. Install with npm install -g peer-robot and run peer-robot for an insta-friend. It will give you a key you can add as a friend.

Development Status: Very unstable.

Run

  • Clone from Github
  • npm install
  • npm start
  • Profit!

If you receive a version mismatch error in the console, try npm run rebuild.

Development

Built with these awesome tools:

Choo | Dat | Electron | Tacyons

Run npm run start:dev to run in development mode and watch file changes.

Status updates are saved in a local level database, ~/.peer-status.db. If you delete the database your account name & key will be reset.

TODO

  • ~~Make feeds download only~~
  • ~~Move database to user root~~
  • ~~make a robot to beep boop at friends~~
  • Store last status/name of friends in DB. Use <- to show feed offline = friend offline
  • Change status to offline on exit
  • Nicer UI (thinking two tab panes, one for friends and one user)
  • Add dates to status and show last update time
  • Make status updates "tweets" and change "subscribe" to "follow".
