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 🙏

Gorgon Build Status npm version npm npm

An ES6 highly scriptable, configurable, and network capable service container server for Node JS.

What is the purpose of Gorgon?

Gorgon provides a server daemon, command line interface (CLI), and API that can be used to create robust network based services. You can create scripted services that can be used to develop software defined networks of instanced micro services. Services run in service containers that can easily mount network and storage services. In the future we will also include a cross node communication network layer to easily scale your services to any size needed.

Latest News

  • RELEASE: Gorgon v0.1.5 is out - updates the service monitor. Adds initial stats and up-time monitoring, updates package dependencies, moves to --inspect debugging, and minor bug fixes and code cleanup.
  • RELEASE: Gorgon v0.1.3 is out - updates the service monitor ui / ux. This service can be used as an example to build more services - grab it in releases!
  • Update: Initial Travis-ci support. If the build shows as broke, don't worry - it 'should' run.
