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 🙏

Motivation

To allow Virtual Reality metaverse servers to support distributed, permissionless, realtime transactions between mutually untrusting parties running untrusted code.

This is one of the key components powering Zeo.

Overview

This is a web frontend for the CRD blockchain. Basically, it's a "web wallet" that stores your CRD private key in a browser cookie.

VRID can be used to manage your CRD address, send funds, mint assets, create charges, issue chargebacks -- virtually everything supported by the CRD blockchain -- but it also exposes your public (but not private) key to apps that query for it.

The fact that your public key can be queried by any web site/app is a good thing, because it allows them to provide CRD-powered services to you without either of you needing to ask or even trust each other. Every transaction is enforced on the CRD blockchain, and if any party misbehaves it will either be rejected by the consensus rules, or can be undone via the CRD chargeback model. For a deeper technical discussion, see CRD.

The result is a truly decentralized, permissionless, payments platform that runs from your browser.

VRID doesn't do much on its own: it just provides a web API to talk to to a crds node (specified by crdsUrl) running somewhere. Specifically, VRID does not store anything (not even your public key) on the server.
