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

Developer Cleaner

A tool to clean up old node_modules directories and free up disk space.

Description

Developer Cleaner is a small command-line tool that helps you identify and remove old node_modules directories to free up disk space. It allows filtering by modification year, helping you keep only recent projects and remove those you no longer use.

Features

  • Search for node_modules directories in any location
  • Filter by year (2023 and earlier, 2022 and earlier, etc.)
  • Display size of each found directory
  • Interactive interface to select which directories to remove
  • Safety confirmation before deleting any files

Installation

Local Installation

git clone https://github.com/tonderflash/developer-cleaner.git
cd developer-cleaner
npm install
npm link

Global Installation (to share with friends)

You can install this tool globally via npm:

npm install -g developer-cleaner

Usage

Once installed, you can run:

developer-cleaner

Follow the interactive prompts to:

  1. Select the base directory to search (defaults to ~/Developer)
  2. Choose which years of node_modules to clean
  3. Review the list of found directories
  4. Confirm deletion

Precautions

  • IMPORTANT! This tool deletes directories. Make sure to review the list before confirming.
  • Deleted directories do not go to the trash, they are removed directly.
  • We recommend making a backup before using this tool for the first time.
