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-mdan

v0.7.5

Published

Scaffold a minimal MDAN agent app or skills app with npm create or bunx.

Readme

create-mdan

create-mdan scaffolds a minimal MDAN agent app or skills app that uses the public @mdanai/sdk root API and the app-facing host convenience.

Generated starters already follow the current default path:

  • Markdown is the public read surface
  • each page keeps an adjacent .action.json manifest
  • actions submit JSON and return updated Markdown surfaces
  • the app code uses createApp, page, route, action, and page.bind(...)

Usage

Node starter:

npm create mdan@latest agent-app
cd agent-app
npm install
npm start

Bun starter:

bunx create-mdan agent-app
cd agent-app
bun install
bun start

Choose the runtime explicitly:

npm create mdan@latest agent-app -- --runtime bun
bunx create-mdan agent-app --runtime node

What You Get

The generated project includes:

  • a Markdown-first starter page
  • an explicit app/index.action.json manifest
  • a simple write action
  • Node or Bun hosting
  • @mdanai/sdk pinned to the compatible minor line

The generated project uses public SDK entry points only:

  • @mdanai/sdk for app authoring
  • app.host("node" | "bun", options?) for host integration
  • @mdanai/sdk/core for the shared protocol/content layer when needed

Next Step

After scaffolding:

  • open http://127.0.0.1:4321/
  • edit app/index.md
  • edit app/index.action.json
  • run curl -H 'Accept: text/markdown' http://127.0.0.1:4321/index.md
