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 🙏

v1.5.16

Published

Scaffold a new CORE Discovery customer repository (compose-based deploy of zitro/core-framework)

Readme

create-core-discovery-app

Scaffold a new CORE Discovery customer repository in seconds.

npx create-core-discovery-app acme

You'll be prompted for:

  • Customer display name
  • LLM provider (local / Azure OpenAI / OpenAI direct)
  • Auth provider (none / Entra ID)
  • Speech provider (none / Azure Speech / OpenAI-compatible)
  • Framework version to pin
  • Optional initial discovery slug

Storage is always local (filesystem under ./data/). Cosmos DB support was removed from the CLI to keep new installs simple.

The output is a self-contained customer repo with compose.yaml pinned to signed framework images, .env pre-filled with your provider choices, Renovate config for grouped image bumps, and an empty projects/ ready for your content.

What it creates

acme/
├── compose.yaml          # pinned to ghcr.io/zitro/core-framework-*:<version>
├── .env                  # filled in from your prompt answers
├── .env.example
├── .gitignore
├── README.md
├── renovate.json
├── projects/
│   └── <initial-slug>/   # if you provided one
├── extensions/
│   └── README.md
├── config/prompts/
└── infra/
    └── README.md         # Bicep placeholder

After scaffolding

cd acme
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
start http://localhost:3000

Keeping up to date

CORE checks the GitHub releases feed and shows an in-app banner whenever a new framework version is available. To upgrade:

npx create-core-discovery-app --upgrade

Run from inside an existing customer repo. The CLI plans the changes, shows a diff, and applies them atomically — no orphan files, no broken pinning.

Why a CLI instead of a template repo?

A template repo gives you a static copy. The CLI fills in customer-specific names, wires your chosen provider credentials into .env, and pins to whatever framework version is current at scaffold time. Same end state, less manual editing.
