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 🙏

create-luckystack-app

v0.16.1

Published

Scaffold a new LuckyStack project. Run `npx create-luckystack-app my-app` to generate a starter with the recommended overlay layout, selected ORM/package-manager setup, and config files in place.

Readme

create-luckystack-app

Create a new LuckyStack project in a fresh directory. Requires Node.js and a package manager; consult package.json for the supported engine and run npx create-luckystack-app --help for current options.

npx create-luckystack-app my-app
cd my-app
cp .env_template .env
cp .env.local_template .env.local
# Set local secrets in .env.local; never commit them.
npm run server # terminal 1
npm run client # terminal 2

Follow the generated project's README for data-layer initialization and its configured frontend address. Redis and a database are needed only for selected features.

For an existing project, upgrade its installed @luckystack/* packages, then run npx luckystack update. Review .new sidecars before adopting framework-owned changes; the upgrade path preserves user edits. The starter source belongs to the generated app, while installed framework packages remain independently upgradeable.

See packaging architecture for the ownership boundary and developer guide for more context.
