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, πŸ‘‹, I’m Ryan HefnerΒ  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 πŸ™

πŸ” Security

Credential Storage

InformatiQ CLI uses secure storage mechanisms:

  • macOS: Keychain Access
  • Windows: Credential Vault
  • Linux: Secret Service API (libsecret)

If the OS keychain is unavailable, credentials are stored in an encrypted configuration file.

Personal Access Token (PAT)

To generate a PAT:

  1. Visit Azure DevOps User Settings
  2. Click "New Token"
  3. Set scopes: Packaging (Read)
  4. Copy the token and use it during configuration

⚠️ Important: Never share your PAT or commit it to version control!

πŸ“¦ NPM Authentication

InformatiQ CLI automatically configures your .npmrc file for Azure DevOps package registry.

Manual Configuration

If you need to manually configure NPM authentication, add the following to ~/.npmrc:

//pkgs.dev.azure.com/informatiq/453f2307-e604-4108-b840-892f91a34e4d/_packaging/Packages/npm/registry/:username=informatiq

//pkgs.dev.azure.com/informatiq/453f2307-e604-4108-b840-892f91a34e4d/_packaging/Packages/npm/:username=informatiq
