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 🙏

Overview

Dat Shopping List is a "Progressive Web App" built to demonstrate how to use the new "multiwriter" capabalities that are being added to the Dat Project.

The demo is a simple "to do list" app, in the spirit of the TodoMVC project.

You can run it on any modern web browser. Also, you can run it on your mobile phone (iOS and Android), and it should work offline as well as online.

Check out the blog post:

Quick Usage Gif

Video Walkthrough

Here is a short (2.5 minute) walkthrough of the demo.

Quick Deploy / Free Hosting Options

The demo is very easy to deploy, as it is self-contained, and requires no storage.

There are many ways for you to run your own instance. You may want to run your own instance for privacy reasons, reliability reasons, or so you can customize it.

Glitch

dat-shopping-list was developed on Glitch. Glitch is very nice. It is free, and it gives you a Node.js backend as well as an in-browser IDE with multi-user editing and debugging! Use the following link to fork your own copy of the Node.js gateway service and front-end user interface:

Remix on Glitch

Note: Occasionally, Glitch gets into a state where it can't read from the disk. One way to get going again is to run: rm -rf node_modules && npm install on the console.

Heroku

The app can easily be deployed to Heroku, which offers either 550-1000 hours a month for free (sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity).

Heroku Pricing

Deploy to Heroku

Zeit now.sh

Zeit offers a free "OSS" plan that works with the Dockerfile. Once you are signed up and have the command line tool installed, you can deploy straight from the github repo:

now jimpick/dat-shopping-list

Note: If you use the OSS plan, the logs will be publicly available, which may not be what you want, as people will be able to see the keys of shopping lists that have been synced through the gateway, and they will be able to download the data. The logging could be changed to hide the keys.

Docker

The git repo includes a simple Dockerfile. There is also a Docker image published here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/jimpick/dat-shopping-list/

If you have docker installed, you should be able to run it:

docker run -p 5000:5000 jimpick/dat-shopping-list

Several of the major cloud hosting companies offer a free tier or introductory offer where you can run Docker images.

npm

The demo is published on npm:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/dat-shopping-list

You can try it out using npx:

npx dat-shopping-list

or you can install it globally and run it:

npm install -g dat-shopping-list

dat-shopping-list

It should work on Mac and Linux. It hasn't been tested on Windows.
