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 🙏

Published

A Gemini CLI extension for real-time 3D preview of JSCAD models, with a Gemini-managed workflow.

Readme

gemini-jscad

A Gemini CLI extension for real-time 3D preview of JSCAD models, with a Gemini-managed workflow.

This project is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. See the LICENSE file for details.

Features

  • Gemini-Managed Preview Server: Gemini starts, stops, and checks the status of the preview server based on your requests.
  • Live Interactive Viewer: The server provides a live preview where you can rotate, pan, and zoom the 3D model.
  • Simplified Setup: A postinstall script automatically copies all necessary configuration and instruction files.
  • Robust Workflow: The workflow is defined in GEMINI.md, ensuring Gemini can manage the server lifecycle reliably.

Installation

This tool is intended for global installation.

npm install -g gemini-jscad-tool

That's it. The installation script automatically handles the following:

  • Makes the gemini-jscad-server command globally available.
  • Copies the extension configuration (gemini-extension.json) and the instruction manual (GEMINI.md) to your Gemini settings directory (~/.gemini/extensions/jscad/).

Usage

The workflow is a conversation between you and Gemini. You give high-level commands, and Gemini follows its instructions to manage the toolchain.

Step 1: Start the Preview Server

To begin, ask Gemini to start the server.

You: "Start the preview server."

Gemini will start the server in the background and inform you. You can then open http://localhost:3000 to see the viewer.

Step 2: Create Models

Now, ask Gemini to create any JSCAD model. If the server isn't running, Gemini will automatically start it for you and let you know.

You: "Create a 20mm cube."

Step 3: Stop the Preview Server

When you are finished, it is important to ask Gemini to stop the server to prevent orphaned processes.

You: "Stop the preview server."

This ensures a clean shutdown.
