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 🙏

NodeJS Dublin Meetup code sample.

For the Assistant to work you will need to import the skill into your assistant. You can create a new skill using the skill-Reverse-order-a-pizza.json file in the main project folder to just get it running.

I would advise you to read the documentation and/or go through the presentation slides and then recreate the Skill yourself so that you understand the various pieces of the puzzle before building something new. A lot can be achieved using standard components, so you don't need to reinvent the wheel.

You'll need to set up an account on https://cloud.ibm.com and create a Service called Watson Assistant from the AI section of the Catalog.

Choose Watson Assistant service in the IBM Cloud Catalog

To import the existing skill follow the steps below.

Create a new Skill

create skill

Go to import skill tab and choose the skill-Reverse-order-a-pizza.json JSON file in the main project folder

After providing config start the app as usual:
