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 🙏

Grumpy Node.js Setup Documentation

1. Quick Start

Step 1: Install the SDK

npm install desicon-grumpy

Step 2: Initialize Grumpy

const { grumpy } = require('desicon-grumpy');

grumpy.init({
    apiKey: "grp_live_xxxx",   // From your dashboard
    appName: "My App",
    environment: "production", // "production" | "staging" | "development"
    rescueEngine: true,        // Automatically apply AI hotfixes
    level: "error"             // "fatal" | "error" | "warning"
});

2. Configuration Options

| Python Parameter | Node.js / Browser Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | api_key | apiKey | string | Your project API key from the dashboard. | | app_name | appName | string | A human-readable name for your application. | | environment | environment | string | Current deployment environment: 'production', 'staging', or 'development'. | | rescue_engine | rescueEngine | boolean | Set to true to enable automated AI hotfix generation and patching. | | level | level | string | fatal | error | warning |

3. The Sensitivity Dialer

The Sensitivity Dialer controls how much noise Grumpy generates. Set it in two places:

  1. SDK: Set level in grumpy.init().
  2. Dashboard: Override per-project in Settings. Server enforces it.

Levels:

  • fatal (Low): Only unhandled crashes.
    grumpy.init({ level: "fatal" });
  • error (Medium): Caught exceptions + fatal.
    grumpy.init({ level: "error" });
  • warning (High): Everything. Good luck.
    grumpy.init({ level: "warning" });

4. Grumpy Rescue Engine

When the Rescue Engine is enabled (via Project Settings), Grumpy doesn't just send you an alert. It instructs your connected AI to generate a functional, sandboxed JavaScript hotfix that fixes the logical error.

This patch is saved to the Grumpy backend. The next time any user loads your client application, the Grumpy SDK automatically fetches all active patches and applies them in memory before your code runs. This means you can hotfix logic errors across the globe with zero downtime, no redeployments, and complete sandboxed safety.

    1. Enable 'Grumpy Rescue Engine' in your Project settings.
    1. Ensure you have an AI Provider configured in settings.
    1. When an unhandled error occurs, Grumpy will generate a <RESCUE_PATCH>.
    1. The SDK downloads and applies this patch on the next client load, silently fixing the bug for everyone else.

Stack Compatibility & Frameworks

The Rescue Engine dynamically patches JavaScript bugs in the browser, but it is fully compatible with ANY backend stack.

Server-Rendered Apps: Even if your backend is Python or PHP, your users still interact with HTML/JS in the browser. Drop the Grumpy JS SDK into your Jinja2, Django, or Blade templates. The Rescue Engine will catch and hotfix frontend JavaScript bugs seamlessly.

5. AI Personas

Grumpy speaks in three voices. Choose the one that fits your team culture. Personas are set at the Organization level and apply to all projects.

Grumpy (Sarcastic & Mean) — All Plans

The default. Grumpy roasts your code, insults your variable names, and grudgingly tells you how to fix it. Perfect for teams with thick skin and a sense of humor.

Example: "You passed a string to parseInt and expected magic? Cast your variables, you absolute menace. Here's the fix, don't make me say it twice."

Friendly (Supportive & Positive) — Pro / Team

A warm, encouraging senior dev who wants you to know it's going to be okay. Uses emojis. Celebrates small wins. Great for junior-heavy teams or if HR keeps filing complaints.

Example: "Hey! 👋 Looks like a small type mismatch slipped through — happens to everyone! Here's a quick fix. You're doing great! 🎉"

Professional (Strategic & Objective) — Pro / Team

An enterprise-grade SRE delivering strictly factual root cause analysis and remediation steps. No jokes, no fluff. Designed for large organizations, regulated industries, and teams that need clean audit trails.

Example: "Root Cause: Type coercion failure in paymentAPI.submit(). Remediation: Validate input type before invocation. Patch recommended."

How to configure

All future error analyses across every project in your organization will use the new voice.

1. Dashboard → Settings → Organization Persona
2. Select your preferred persona and click Save

7. Integrations

Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)

Grumpy works out of the box for free using our massive database of hand-crafted roasts. But if you want AI to suggest actual code fixes, connect any AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Ollama). We never markup token usage. If your API goes down, Grumpy seamlessly falls back to standard mode.

Dashboard → Settings → Select Provider → Paste Key

Slack Webhooks

Grumpy sends rich, formatted alerts directly to your Slack channels with full stack traces, AI analysis, and severity badges.

1. Dashboard → Settings → Connect Slack
2. Slack → Channel → Settings → Integrations → Add Grumpy

Discord Webhooks

Same rich alerts, same brutal honesty — delivered to your Discord server. Perfect for indie devs and open source projects.

Dashboard → Settings → Connect Discord (automatic)

8. The 'Not My Fault' Engine

Our 'Not My Fault' engine analyzes stack traces. If a crash originated from an external package, we will notify the maintainer of the issue so they can work on it. But we are smart about it. If we notice that the error was caused by missing parameters or incorrect usage by the developer, rather than sending the maintainer a ticket, we notify the developer of the correct use.

For Maintainers

Sign up for a free Grumpy account to claim and track your public npm/pip packages. You only need a paid subscription if you want to use Grumpy to monitor your own applications.

For Developers

Enable this feature within your project settings so that genuine errors from external packages are automatically sent to the maintainers.

Dashboard → Settings → Enable 'Not My Fault'
