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-proto

Scaffold a new Prototo prototype:

npm create proto@latest myapp

The npm package is create-proto (and the CLI bin is proto) for historical reasons. The brand and product name is Prototo — that's what designers see in the banner, in the iOS nav bar, and at prototo.app.

What Prototo is

A prompt-native design environment. The iOS Simulator is the canvas. Claude Code CLI is the design tool. The designer describes what they want; native iOS UI appears in the Simulator, with Apple's real Liquid Glass on iOS 26+.

No canvas. No IDE. No engineering concepts.

What this command does

  1. Scaffolds the project: DESIGN.md (design system source-of-truth), CLAUDE.md (Claude Code instructions for Prototo-aware generation), Prototo component library, a starter Welcome screen
  2. Installs dependencies (Expo SDK 55, React Native, Reanimated 4, @expo/ui, expo-glass-effect, expo-clipboard)
  3. Auto-launches Metro and opens the iOS Simulator

Then in another terminal:

cd myapp
claude
> add a liquid glass bottom tab bar with Home, Explore, Library, Profile tabs

Claude reads CLAUDE.md, generates app/_layout.tsx using Apple's native UITabBar via expo-router/unstable-native-tabs, and the Simulator hot-reloads.

Requirements

  • macOS with Xcode + iOS Simulator (Simulator is the canvas)
  • Node.js 18+
  • Claude Code installed (npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-cli)
