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.

Why

I just woke up one morning (today, Saturday, February 28) and thought, I want to be able to read news on my terminal, I'm on the terminal all the damned time anyway. So there, a couple of hours was spent writing this.

Where are the tests?

I uh, well do you want to write it? Fork and send me a PR. I really didn't plan to spend a lot of time on this tiny project, so there's no tests and all that jazz. :)

What's the news source?

It's just Google News RSS with the "Philippines" filter on. The full articles are loaded via the news sites themselves.

How it works

The RSS is stripped for titles and links and that's your main menu.

The full articles are loaded directly from the news sites, the whole page is loaded and is passed through node-readability, this finds the article in the page. I apply some cleanup myself like condensing the paragraph spacing, indentations, and line lengths by word.
