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 🙏

Play a Lego break sound when your build fails

Readme

🧱 brick-break

that satisfying lego break sound when your build fails

saw this idea on tiktok and had to make it real. now every failed build hits different.

install

npm i -D brick-break

then wrap your build command:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "brick-break next dev",
    "build": "brick-break next build"
  }
}

or just run it directly:

npx brick-break next build

global install (recommended for non-js projects)

npm i -g brick-break

now you can use bb anywhere:

bb cargo build
bb go build
bb pytest
bb make

works with everything

bb next build
bb npm run build
bb tsc
bb cargo build
bb go build

if it can fail, brick-break can make it funnier.

next.js hmr support

for errors that happen while the dev server is running (hot reload):

bb init

this automatically adds <BrickBreak /> to your layout.tsx.

or add it manually:

// app/layout.tsx
import { BrickBreak } from 'brick-break/next'

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        <BrickBreak />
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

now errors play the sound even during hot reload.

how it works

  1. runs your command
  2. build fails? plays the sound
  3. thats it

(for next.js hmr: watches for the error overlay in the browser)

requirements

uses your system audio player (already installed):

  • mac - afplay
  • linux - paplay/aplay
  • windows - powershell
