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 🙏

A funny CLI dev runner that talks to you

Readme

🗣️ bhai-run

bhai-run is a simple and fun CLI tool for developers that runs your project's development server and talks to you when something happens.

Instead of typing:

npm run dev

you can simply type:

bhai

When your server starts successfully, bhai says:

🔊 Chal bhai, server chalu ho gaya!

If the server encounters an error, bhai says:

🔊 Kya kar raha hai bhai!


🚀 Installation

Install bhai-run globally using npm:

npm install -g bhai-run

After installation, check that it works:

bhai

▶️ How to Use

Go inside any project that has a dev script in its package.json.

For example:

cd my-project

Then run:

bhai

Instead of manually running:

npm run dev

bhai automatically runs your project's development server.


📦 Example

Suppose your project has this package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite"
  }
}

Normally you would run:

npm run dev

With bhai-run, simply run:

bhai

You will see your normal server output, and when the server is ready, bhai will play a voice notification.

Example:

🚀 Starting your server...

> [email protected] dev
> vite

VITE ready in 400 ms

🔊 Chal bhai, server chalu ho gaya!

🛠️ Requirements

  • Node.js
  • npm
  • A project with an npm run dev script

Windows

The current version uses Windows PowerShell for voice/audio playback, so the audio notification feature is currently designed for Windows.

Cross-platform support may be added in the future.


🎯 Why bhai-run?

Because sometimes you don't want to keep staring at the terminal waiting for your server to start. 😄

bhai-run gives you a simple voice notification so you know when your development server is ready.


🔄 Updating

To update to the latest version:

npm install -g bhai-run@latest

Check the installed version:

npm list -g bhai-run

🧪 Local Development

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/bhai-run.git

Enter the project:

cd bhai-run

Install dependencies:

npm install

Link the CLI locally:

npm link

Now you can use:

bhai

from another project.
