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

Hero Heroku

Hero Heroku is the (unofficial) Heroku counterpart to Microsoft's Azure Extension. The various Heroku extensions on the marketplace are just wrappers around the Heroku CLI/Wep Platform, which is where this extension shines! It attempts to be your Heroku Dashboard inside VSCode, by enabling you to manage your apps and their features without leaving the editor!

Features

  • Visual indicators of Dyno/App runtime status.
  • Start, stop, and create Dynos.
  • Scale your app horizontally.
  • Add, modify and delete addons for apps.
  • ~~Check the build logs~~, and open an app log stream.
  • Quickly open one-off dynos, like bashing into your app.

Requirements

The only requirement is to have the Heroku CLI installed, but it's only needed to create an Authentication Token. So techincally, it can be bypassed, by going to your Heroku account settings and generating a token on the web and copying it into VSCode. Everything else is conducted through the Web Platform API.

Extension Settings

There are two settings which are available:

  • hero-heroku.apiKey: your personal API key generated from the CLI or Account Settings page.
  • hero-heroku.apiCalls: determines how many extension refreshes occur every minute.
