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 🙏

dxkit-cli

v0.1.0

Published

A fast, pipe-friendly developer toolbox for the terminal. Encode, decode, hash, generate. All from your CLI.

Readme

Zero dependencies beyond Node.js built-ins for all core operations. Everything runs locally. No network calls, no telemetry, no data leaves your machine.

Install

npm install -g dxkit-cli

Or run directly with npx:

npx dxkit-cli uuid
npx dxkit-cli hash sha256 "hello"
npx dxkit-cli pass -l 32

Commands

dxt uuid Generate UUID v4

dxt uuid              # single UUID
dxt uuid -n 5         # generate 5 UUIDs

dxt b64 Base64 encode/decode

dxt b64 encode "hello world"
dxt b64 decode "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ="
echo "pipe me" | dxt b64 encode

dxt hash Hash strings

dxt hash sha256 "hello"
dxt hash md5 "hello"
echo "pipe me" | dxt hash sha512

Supported: md5, sha1, sha256, sha512

dxt jwt Decode JWT tokens

dxt jwt eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...
echo $TOKEN | dxt jwt

Displays header, payload, and expiration status. Decode only. No secrets are processed or stored.

dxt ts Timestamp conversions

dxt ts                    # current time
dxt ts 1700000000         # unix seconds
dxt ts 1700000000000      # unix milliseconds (auto-detected)
dxt ts "2023-11-14T22:13:20Z"   # ISO string

dxt pass Generate secure passwords

dxt pass                  # 24-char password
dxt pass -l 32            # 32-char password
dxt pass --no-symbols     # alphanumeric only

Uses crypto.randomBytes for cryptographically secure generation.

dxt url URL encode/decode

dxt url encode "hello world&foo=bar"
dxt url decode "hello%20world"
echo "encode me" | dxt url encode

Pipe-friendly

All commands support stdin, so you can chain them with other tools:

echo "secret" | dxt hash sha256
cat token.txt | dxt jwt
dxt uuid | dxt b64 encode

Security

  • All processing happens locally on your machine
  • No network requests, no telemetry, no analytics
  • Password generation uses Node.js crypto.randomBytes (CSPRNG)
  • JWT decoding is read-only. No signing, no secret handling
  • No input caching or logging. All data is ephemeral

Programmatic API

import { generateUuids, base64, hash, decodeJwt, generatePassword } from 'dxkit-cli';

const [uuid] = generateUuids({ count: 1 });
const encoded = base64({ action: 'encode', input: 'hello' });
const sha = hash({ algorithm: 'sha256', input: 'hello' });
const jwt = decodeJwt({ token: '...' });
const pw = generatePassword({ length: 24, noSymbols: false });

Development

git clone https://github.com/saqibameen/dxkit.git
cd dxkit
npm install
npm test          # run tests
npm run build     # build
npm run dev       # build with watch
