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 🙏

The modern, batteries-included way to start React projects—no more outdated boilerplates!


🚀 Why create-react-app-alternative?

Create React App (CRA) is dead. Setting up a new single-page React app with all the right tools, file-based routing, and a smooth DX shouldn’t be a pain. That’s why create-react-app-alternative exists: a fresh, opinionated starter that gets you building real apps, fast.


✨ Features

  • Vite-powered: Lightning-fast dev server and builds, out of the box.
  • File-based Routing: Just drop your files in the routes/ folder—powered by react-router with file conventions.
  • Tailwind CSS: Utility-first styling, preconfigured and ready to go.
  • ESLint & Prettier: Lint, fix, and format your code with minimal config.
  • ESMate: All your favorite dev tools, streamlined for productivity.
  • Zero Bloat: No legacy configs, no ejecting, no nonsense.

🏁 Quick Start

npx create-react-app-alternative my-app

cd my-app

npm install

npm run dev

That’s it! You’re ready to build.
