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 🙏

RSS feeds for Etherpad pads

npm Backend Tests Frontend Tests

Adds an RSS 2.0 feed for every pad so readers can subscribe to changes in any feed reader.

Install

From your Etherpad root, install the plugin via the Etherpad plugin manager:

pnpm run plugins i ep_rss

Or install from the admin UI: Admin → Manage Plugins, search for ep_rss, click Install. Restart Etherpad after installing.

⚠️ Don't run npm i / pnpm add against this plugin from inside the Etherpad source tree — Etherpad tracks installed plugins through its own plugin manager, and hand-editing package.json can leave the server unable to start.

Endpoints

Once installed, each pad exposes:

| Path | Behavior | |---|---| | /p/<pad>/feed | 200 with Content-Type: application/rss+xml and the current pad text as a single <item> | | /p/<pad>/rss | 302 → /p/<pad>/feed | | /p/<pad>/feed.rss | 302 → /p/<pad>/feed | | /p/<pad>/atom.xml | 302 → /p/<pad>/feed |

The pad page itself also advertises the feed in <head> so feed readers auto-discover it:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Pad RSS Feed" href="feed" />

Settings

Optional. Add to settings.json to control how long a generated feed is cached in memory before being regenerated:

"rss": {
  "staleTime": 300000
}

staleTime is in milliseconds. Defaults to 5 minutes (300000) when unset.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run lint

Backend and frontend tests live under static/tests/ and run inside an Etherpad checkout — the CI workflows install this plugin into a fresh Etherpad and exercise it end-to-end.
