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 🙏

Bridge-Zip

npm npm npm bundle size license

Bridge-Zip is a command-line utility designed to solve compatibility issues between ZIP files created on Windows and macOS systems. It provides seamless conversion of folder names and structures to ensure proper functionality across both operating systems.

The Problem

When creating ZIP archives on different operating systems, folder structures and encoding issues can arise:

  • ZIP files created on Windows may have folder names encoded in a way that's unreadable on macOS
  • ZIP files created on macOS might have folder names that appear incorrectly on Windows
  • Extracting cross-platform ZIP files often results in garbled or unreadable folder names

Bridge-Zip solves these issues by providing an easy way to check and convert folder names within ZIP archives.

Installation

# Install globally
npm install -g bridge-zip

# Or use with npx
npx bridge-zip <command>

Usage

Bridge-Zip offers two main commands:

Check ZIP Contents

Examine the folder names inside a ZIP file:

bridge-zip check example.zip

This will display all folder and file names contained within the archive.

Convert ZIP File

Extract a ZIP file, rename its main folder, and recompress it:

bridge-zip convert example.zip newFolderName

This command:

  1. Extracts the ZIP file
  2. Renames the main folder to the specified name
  3. Recompresses the folder into a new ZIP file

Examples

Checking a Windows-created ZIP file on macOS:

bridge-zip check windows_archive.zip
# Output: Folder names inside the zip: ["Project_Files/", "Project_Files/document.docx", ...]

Converting a ZIP file for cross-platform compatibility:

bridge-zip convert macos_archive.zip ProjectFiles
# Output: Conversion complete: /path/to/macos_archive.zip

Technical Details

Bridge-Zip uses:

  • Node.js for cross-platform compatibility
  • adm-zip for ZIP file manipulation
  • Commander.js for the command-line interface
