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 🙏

Better HTTP Signatures for Insomnia

This is a plugin for Insomnia that allows the signing of HTTP Messages. It is based on the HTTP Signature Plugin. To find out more about the http signature spec, look here.

Installation

Install the insomnia-plugin-better-http-signature plugin from Preferences -> Plugins.

How to use

Add the HTTP Signature template tag as auth token or header value and fill the necessary fields.

Q&A

RSA Private Keys are set without headers and newlines (-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----).

The Live Preview will show a template of the signing string. There are no values, because they are inserted when a request is fired.

  • The Date header is added if needed.
  • Content-Type and Content-Length headers are used when available (eg. in post requests).
