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

effective.ts

A library for writing safe, concurrent, fault-tolerant programs in TypeScript.

Key Features

  • Functional design
    Effective.ts introduces an IO monad, as used in Haskell and Cats Effect (Scala). This allows the manipulation of programs as values, using pure functions. This has a "fluent" method chaining interface, to make it idiomatic to TypeScript.

  • Typed errors
    The IO type tracks the possible errors which can be raised by an action, so you know exactly which error cases you need to handle. No nasty surprises!

  • Concurrency and cancellation
    Launch lightweight async fibers (green threads), with support for early cancellation. Easily run actions in parallel or in sequence.

  • Fault-tolerance
    In the real world, things fail, so effective.ts has built-in support for timeouts and retries with exponential backoff.
