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

fport-cli

A lightweight, cross-platform CLI tool to instantly find and terminate processes running on specific ports.

Overview

Developer environments frequently encounter stuck ports and address-in-use errors (EADDRINUSE). Manually looking up process IDs via task tables or process lists slows down local development.

fport-cli resolves this problem instantly by letting you specify target ports directly from your command line, automating process identification and termination under the hood.

Installation

Install the package globally via npm to make the command available across any terminal window on your system:

npm install -g fport-cli

Usage

Pass any port number as an argument to instantly clear whatever process is occupying it:

fport-cli 3000

You can also clear multiple ports simultaneously in a single command invocation:

fport-cli 3000 5000 8080

How It Works

  • Windows: Automatically queries active sockets via netstat and terminates target processes securely using taskkill.
  • macOS / Linux: Utilizes system utilities like lsof and kill -9 to free up ports instantly.
