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

lanshare-cli

Installed globally (npm i -g lanshare-cli) the commands are plain lanshare and lannotebook.

Zero-dependency LAN file sharing + shared notebook. Node >= 18.

npx lanshare-cli serve                                # share current directory on :8080, prints LAN URLs
npx lanshare-cli serve ~/Downloads                    # explicit directory
npx lanshare-cli serve ./dist -p 9000 -a admin:secret # custom port + HTTP Basic auth
npx lanshare-cli serve /data --daemon                 # background; lanshare status / stop
npx lanshare-cli ip                                   # LAN IPv4 addresses
npx lanshare-cli --help

npx lannotebook                                   # full-page shared textarea on :8081
npx lannotebook ~/notes/lan.md -a team:pass       # backed by a file, with auth
npx lannotebook --help

serve

  • Directory index (folders first, size, mtime), files streamed with MIME + Range (206)
  • Read-only (GET/HEAD), paths confined to the shared root, --no-hidden hides dotfiles
  • -a user:pass → HTTP Basic auth (401 otherwise)

note / lannotebook

  • One full-page <textarea>; autosaves 400 ms after typing stops (Ctrl+S too)
  • GET /api/note / PUT /api/note (atomic write, 16 MB max); idle clients re-poll every 2 s
  • Default file ~/cicy-ai/db/lanshare-note.txt

daemon

--daemon detaches and records pid/urls in ~/cicy-ai/db/lanshare.json (CICY_HOME overrides ~/cicy-ai). One serve and one note daemon per host; lanshare status, lanshare stop [serve|note].
