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.

ghee boilerplate

This is a boilerplate setup for a ghee Slack bot.

For more information on how to use ghee, please visit the ghee wiki.

Setup

Clone this repo or install via yarn/npm:

$ npm install ghee-boilerplate

Go to your Custom Integrations page for your Slack instance and set up a new Bot integration. Copy the API token and save for later.

If running locally, copy .env-sample to .env and add your Slack API token to the .env file.

If running on a server, you can set the SLACK_API_TOKEN to the value of the Slack API token.

If running on a hosted service such as Heroku, you can set the Config Variables on your apps Settings page.

Run

Run yarn install if you have just cloned the repo for the first time, to install the required dependencies.

Run yarn start to start the bot.

Usage

The bot will now join your Slack instance if you specified the correct API token. You can invite the bot to whatever channel you want it to be present in.

Since this is a boilerplate, the bot will not respond to any commands. Please see the ghee wiki or view the ghee sample bot for more information on how to use this boilerplate.

Quick Deploy

You can quickly run the boilerplate bot via Heroku. Clicking this button will take you to Heroku, where you will be able to enter your Slack API token and launch the bot on a single worker dyno.
