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 🙏

Bibliophilarr launcher that downloads and runs platform binaries from GitHub Releases

Downloads

125

Readme

bibliophilarr (npm launcher)

This package installs a bibliophilarr command that downloads the matching platform binary from Bibliophilarr GitHub Releases and launches it.

Install

npm install -g bibliophilarr

Run

bibliophilarr

Options

Pass arguments directly to the Bibliophilarr binary:

bibliophilarr --help

Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | BIBLIOPHILARR_OWNER | Swartdraak | GitHub repository owner | | BIBLIOPHILARR_REPO | Bibliophilarr | GitHub repository name | | BIBLIOPHILARR_VERSION | latest | Release tag to download (e.g. v1.0.0) |

Cache

The launcher caches downloaded binaries under ~/.cache/bibliophilarr. To force a fresh download, delete this directory:

rm -rf ~/.cache/bibliophilarr

Troubleshooting

  • Permission denied on Linux/macOS: The launcher sets execute permissions automatically. If you see permission errors, verify the cache directory is writable: ls -la ~/.cache/bibliophilarr.
  • Binary not found for your platform: The launcher maps process.platform and process.arch to release asset names. If no match is found, check that a release asset exists for your platform at the releases page.
  • Network errors: The launcher downloads from GitHub Releases. Ensure you have internet access and are not behind a proxy that blocks GitHub. For private networks, set https_proxy as needed.
  • Wrong version running: Delete the cache directory and re-run to download the correct version.
