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.

Firstbase

A CLI for scaffolding React or Next.js projects with a practical Tailwind baseline.

Firstbase creates a new app from an interactive prompt and can add common project foundations such as styling, environment files, formatting, API client setup, optional UI components, tests, auth scaffolding, forms, toasts, i18n, and SEO helpers.

Install

Run it directly with npx:

npx create-firstbase-app@latest

Usage

npx create-firstbase-app

The CLI asks for the project name and setup choices, then creates a new project folder.

Options

Firstbase can generate:

React + Vite or Next.js apps
JavaScript or TypeScript projects
Tailwind theme setup with starter pages
Optional shadcn-ready component wiring
Environment file templates
Axios API client setup
Formatting scripts and Prettier config
Optional Husky pre-commit setup
Optional advanced modules for React Query, auth, forms, toasts, i18n, SEO, and tests

Generated Project

Each generated app includes a README tailored to the choices you selected. It documents the installed stack, scripts, project structure, and follow-up setup steps for that app.

Local Development

If you are working on this CLI locally:

npm install
npm run build
npm run start

The compiled CLI entrypoint is written to dist/bin/firstbase.js.

Requirements

Firstbase requires Node.js 22.22.2 or newer.
