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

ExoBrain — AI Second Brain

Your personal AI knowledge assistant: daily briefings, content summarization, and a living knowledge library — all in Obsidian, powered by Claude Code.

Quick start

npx exobrain

The setup wizard walks you through everything in about 5 minutes. No cloning, no downloads — just one command.

What you get

| Feature | What it does | |---|---| | Daily Brief | Every morning: weather + world/AI/macro/local news, auto-written to your vault | | Summarizer | YouTube videos, podcasts, PDFs → structured Wikipedia-style notes | | Library | Concept stubs in 06 Research/, source profiles in 07 References/ | | People | Auto-created profiles for public figures mentioned in news | | Unread Indicator | Accent dot on notes you haven't read yet |

Everything is plain Markdown — you own your data.

Requirements

  • macOS (Monterey 12+)
  • Claude Code + Anthropic API key (~$5–15/month at typical usage)
  • Obsidian (free)
  • Node.js 16+
  • Python 3.9+

After setup

  1. Open Obsidian → "Open folder as vault" → point to your vault
  2. Settings → Community plugins → Enable "Unread Indicator"
  3. Test your brief: bash ~/Library/Scripts/exobrain-daily-brief.sh
  4. Check logs: tail -f ~/Library/Logs/exobrain-daily-brief.log

Using the summarizer

YouTube / podcast — open Claude Code in your vault, then:

/summarize https://youtube.com/watch?v=...

PDF / ebook — drop the file into _Attachments/, then:

/summarize

Summaries land in 08 Summaries/. Concept stubs are auto-created in 06 Research/.

Customizing news categories

Edit 05 Projects/daily_brief_prompt.txt in your vault. The brief has 4 categories by default (World, AI/Tech, US Macro, Local). Add or replace any category by following the same pattern.

Managing the daily brief

# Disable
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.exobrain.dailybrief.plist

# Re-enable
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.exobrain.dailybrief.plist

Roadmap

  • v1.1 — Gmail + Google Calendar integration
  • v1.2 — WhatsApp / Telegram via Beeper
  • v2.0 — GUI installer (Windows + Linux)
