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

NPM

gaia-develop

Developing gaia was always more cumbersome to me comparing to developing web apps. The main difference is that live reload is broadly supported for developing web apps. This project aims to remove this gap by providing live reload to gaia app development.

This module saves you from manually rebuilding Gaia and clicking the install and relaunch button on WebIDE.

Prerequisites

This module currently only works on Mac.

  • Download b2g desktop from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ .
  • Put b2g.app in Applications folder.
  • Use node.js 0.12.7. (Other node.js versions may run into problems with the watch functionality of chokidar.)

Installation

npm install -g gaia-develop

Usage

In your gaia folder, run

gaia-develop b2g [deviceType] [appName]

Once the b2g desktop is running, file changes in gaia/apps, gaia/tv_apps and shared will trigger a APP=appName make. After that it'll either restart b2g desktop or install and relaunch the selected app.

Examples

gaia-develop b2g phone sms

Shorthand version:

gaia-develop sms

If no appName argument is provided, on file changes it will rebuild Gaia and restart b2g.
