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 🙏

immich-cli

A small CLI over @immich/sdk for querying an Immich photo library: search photos by free text (CLIP smart search), person, album, or date range.

Setup

npm install
npm run build

Set credentials as environment variables (create an API key in Immich under Account Settings):

export IMMICH_INSTANCE_URL=https://photos.example.com/api
export IMMICH_API_KEY=...

Put dist/index.js on PATH as immich (e.g. npm link, or symlink it) so the skill's example commands work verbatim.

Commands

immich search [query] [-p <person>]... [-a <album>] [--after <iso8601>] [--before <iso8601>] [--favorite] [--order <asc|desc>] [-n <limit>] [--json] [--share]
immich random [-n <count>] [--json] [--share]
immich people [name] [--unnamed] [--json]
immich albums [name]
immich info <id> [--key <shareKey>] [--json] [--raw]
immich view <id> [--key <shareKey>] [--size <thumbnail|preview|fullsize|original>] [-o <path>]

search with a query runs Immich's smart (CLIP) search; without one it runs a plain metadata/filter search. Both accept the same -p/-a/--after/--before/--favorite filters and can be combined freely. Results always include EXIF and people. --order asc|desc sorts by date (metadata search only, ignored for a text/--like query since CLIP ranks by similarity); combine with -n 1 for "most recent" or "first ever" lookups. Output reports how many results are shown out of the total matches. --share creates a public Immich share link for the matched photos and prints its URL.

info fetches full metadata (EXIF, GPS, people, tags, stack) for a single asset by ID.

people prints each person's birth date when known, useful for computing date ranges around events like birthdays.

random returns an unfiltered random sample of photos.

view downloads a photo (default: preview size, a normalized JPEG) to a local file and prints the path, using the CLI's own credentials, no public share link required. Meant for feeding a photo to an LLM's image-viewing tool.
