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 🙏

Official Project Scaffolding CLI for ZAU Framework

Python ASGI Backend · Native 3D Spatial Canvas · Async ORM · Dual-Asset Engine


Quickstart

Bootstrap a new fullstack ZAU application in seconds:

# Using npm
npm create zau@latest my-app

# Using npx
npx create-zau my-app

# Using pnpm
pnpm create zau my-app

# Using yarn
yarn create zau my-app

# Using bun
bun create zau my-app

Templates

create-zau includes 4 production-grade templates tailored for diverse engineering workloads:

| Template | Architecture & Included Stack | Recommended Use Cases | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | fullstack-3d (Default) | Python ASGI (Starlette/uvloop) + Native Three.js r160 3D Canvas + Async ORM + Tailwind CSS & Bootstrap tokens. | 3D e-commerce, digital twins, spatial showrooms, WebGL games, interactive product viewers. | | minimal | Lightweight Python ASGI service with minimal Single-File Component frontend and zero 3D dependencies. | Microservices, rapid proof-of-concepts, REST/RPC endpoints with lightweight UI. | | dashboard | Tabular data grids, real-time metrics telemetry, charting integration, and built-in ZAU DB Studio. | Enterprise administrative portals, observability hubs, telemetry dashboards. | | portfolio | Spatial showroom with cinematic orbital controls, PBR illumination, and Seated POV camera presets. | Architecture atelier, virtual gallery, personal engineering showcase. |


Project Structure

A scaffolded ZAU project follows an organized, modular topology:

my-app/
├── api/
│   └── index.py             # Serverless ASGI bridge (Vercel / Cloud Functions)
├── backend/
│   ├── app.py               # ZAUApp instantiation, ASGI routes & Server Actions
│   └── database/            # Declarative ORM models & database migrations
├── frontend/
│   ├── components/          # UI and 3D spatial components (.zau / .tsx)
│   ├── pages/               # Application routes and views
│   └── styles/              # Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap style configurations
├── model/
│   └── 3d/                  # 3D spatial assets (GLTF/GLB Draco & textures)
├── public/                  # Public static browser assets
├── Dockerfile               # Production multi-stage OCI container
├── docker-compose.yml       # Local development cluster (App + Postgres + Redis)
├── package.json             # Node.js dependencies and workspace scripts
├── pyproject.toml           # Python package configuration
├── render.yaml              # Render Cloud deployment blueprint
├── requirements.txt         # Python dependencies (Starlette, uvicorn, pydantic)
├── tsconfig.json            # TypeScript configuration
├── vercel.json              # Vercel serverless edge rewrite rules
└── zau.config.py            # Master ZAU server configuration (Port, CORS, DB)

Workflow

After project creation:

# 1. Navigate into project
cd my-app

# 2. Setup Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
# .venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows

# 3. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install

# 4. Start local development server (ASGI + HMR)
zau dev --port 8000

Access the application at http://localhost:8000.


Deployment

  • Vercel (Serverless Edge + ASGI): npx vercel --prod --yes
  • Docker Production Container: docker compose up -d --build
  • Render Cloud: Connect GitHub repository (automatically detected via render.yaml).
