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 🙏

backtrace-console

v0.0.8

Published

CLI server manager for backtrace-console — run/start/stop the Express server.

Readme

backtrace-console

Server manager for backtrace-console — start, stop, and manage the Express server process from the command line.

Install

npm install -g backtrace-console

Usage

Run all commands from the backtrace-console project root directory.

# 前台启动(Ctrl+C 停止)
backtrace-server run

# 后台守护进程启动
backtrace-server start

# 停止后台进程
backtrace-server stop

# 查看运行状态
backtrace-server status

How it works

  • run — loads .env in the current directory and starts bin/www in the foreground.
  • start — spawns bin/www as a detached background process. PID is saved to .backtrace-server.pid and logs are appended to .backtrace-server.log.
  • stop — reads .backtrace-server.pid and sends SIGTERM to the process.
  • status — checks whether the recorded PID is still alive.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • Must be run inside a backtrace-console project directory (i.e. bin/www must exist).
