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 Rss App

CLI for create simple JS or TS project without webpack configuration

Easiest way to start use modules in your js app

Quick start

npx create-rss-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

NPM Scripts

  • npm start - Starts the development server.
  • npm run build - Boundles your app into static files for deployment.

About webpack configuration

This package use webpack with simpliest configuration.

  • You should place your source files to src folder in project directory. Includes styles, images, etc..
  • src folder should contains index.html
  • src folder should contains index.js (or index.ts if TypeScript is used) - it will be entry point to your app.
  • If you want to use css files, you should add <link> tag to index.html. But you don't need add links for script files.
  • If you want to use scss or sass pre-processor - you should import this files into your scripts, like import 'styles.scss';. But, if your scss/sass file and html have a same name (like index.html and index.scss), <link> tag will be added to html automatically, you don't need to use import in js (but you still need to add links to css manually).
  • This configuration supports multi-page apps. You can add a few html files to your project, it will work. Make js file with the same name and in the same directory, and it will automatically used as entrypoint for this html page.
  • When you run npm run build, project bundle will be created in dist directory.

Options

You can configure options by using different flags.

Add configs

You can use --configs or -c flags if you want to add webpack config to your project directory. It will give you more control.

npx create-rss-app my-app --configs

Use TypeScript

This package use typescript compiller by default and you can code your app with both languages - JS and TS.

But if you want to code with TS (and don't want to eject configs) - you can use flags --typescript or -ts for add tsconfig.json to your project directory.

npx create-rss-app my-app -ts

Boilerplate

By default, create-rss-app add simple example of html, css and js files to your project, if there are not exists. But, if you don't need it, use the flag --empty.
