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 Sentinel API CLI

A production-ready Node.js backend starter CLI that helps you scaffold scalable Express + TypeScript APIs in seconds.


📌 Overview

While building multiple backend projects, I noticed the same setup process repeating every time:

  • Express + TypeScript configuration
  • Folder/module architecture
  • Middleware and error handling boilerplate
  • MongoDB connection setup
  • Clean starter foundation

So I built Create Sentinel API CLI to automate this workflow.


✨ Features

✅ Express + TypeScript starter template
✅ Modular and scalable folder structure
✅ Centralized error handling middleware
✅ Async handler utility
✅ MongoDB-ready configuration
✅ Clean architecture foundation for production APIs


📦 Installation & Usage

You don’t need to install anything globally.

Simply run:

npx create-sentinel-api my-api
