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

create-interview-cockpit

Scaffold your own AI-powered interview prep cockpit in seconds.

npx create-interview-cockpit

What you get

A self-hosted, full-stack interview prep tool with:

  • Topics — organise prep by theme (C#, System Design, Azure, etc.)
  • Questions — nested questions under each topic with persistent chat history
  • AI chat — powered by any of OpenAI / Google Gemini / Anthropic Claude via the Vercel AI SDK
  • Context files — attach PDFs, DOCX, or plain text (job specs, CVs, notes) as context per topic or question
  • Code context panel — point the AI at your local codebase files
  • Text annotations — highlight any AI response and ask follow-up questions inline
  • Response tuning — control length (concise / moderate / full) and style (prose / bullets / structured)
  • Mermaid diagrams — the AI renders architecture diagrams inline

Usage

npx create-interview-cockpit my-cockpit
cd my-cockpit
npm install
npm run dev

The CLI will prompt you to choose an AI provider (OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic) and optionally paste your API key. Everything is written to a local .env file — nothing leaves your machine.

Open http://localhost:5173.

Tech stack

| Layer | Tech | |----------|--------------------------------------| | Frontend | React 19, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind | | Backend | Express, TypeScript, tsx | | AI | Vercel AI SDK (multi-provider) | | Storage | Local JSON files |

Supported AI providers

| Provider | Env var | Default model | |-----------|----------------------|----------------------------| | OpenAI | OPENAI_API_KEY | gpt-4o | | Google | GOOGLE_API_KEY | gemini-2.5-flash | | Anthropic | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | claude-sonnet-4-20250514 |

Switch provider at any time by editing .env:

AI_PROVIDER=google
AI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-flash
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key-here

Upgrading

When a new version of the template is released, run this from inside your cockpit project directory:

npx create-interview-cockpit upgrade

The CLI will:

  • Compare your installed version (cockpit.json) against the latest
  • Overwrite client/ and server/ with the updated template files
  • Merge any new scripts and dependencies into your package.json (your pinned versions are preserved)
  • Leave untouched: .env, data/ (your topics, questions, and context files), and node_modules/

After upgrading, reinstall dependencies and restart:

npm install
cd client && npm install && cd ..
cd server && npm install && cd ..
npm run dev
