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 🙏

Readme

bv-ping

A terminal-based Node.js utility to visualize ping latency using colored bars, directly in your console.

Features

  • Pings a given host (default: 8.8.8.8)
  • Configurable intervals and latency thresholds
  • Graphical bar output with color coding
  • Live updates on terminal resize
  • Clean UI with optional timestamp display

Make sure you have Node.js v18+ (for native styleText support).

Usage

node bv-ping [url] [options]

Arguments

  • url: Host or IP to ping. Default: 8.8.8.8

Options

  • --every <seconds>: Ping interval in seconds (default: 1)
  • --timestamp: Show timestamps on each ping
  • --nogap: Remove the horizontal gap between bars
  • --thresholds <a,b,c>: Set custom latency thresholds (must be 3 increasing numbers)

Examples

# Default usage
bv-ping

# Ping Cloudflare DNS every 2 seconds
bv-ping 1.1.1.1 --every 2

# Show timestamps and custom thresholds
bv-ping google.com --timestamp --thresholds 100,200,400

Notes

  • Press q or Ctrl+C to quit.
  • ANSI-colored bars use thresholds to color code latency: green, yellow, and red.
  • Ensure your terminal supports ANSI escape sequences.
