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 🙏

mapeo-web

A small sync and storage service for Mapeo maps.

Mapeo is a peer-to-peer local-first collaborative mapping technology. Laptops and phones can sync map data to each other directly, either by finding each other on the local network, or by syncing to a USB key (sneakernet-style) that can then be synced to other devices.

Mapeo Web is a small web service that provides hosting for Mapeo projects. It does this by advertising itself on the internet (and local network) as a regular Mapeo peer, which Mapeo Desktop and Mapeo Mobile can sync with. It also exposes a web interface that lets you customize which Mapeo projects are hosted by it.

Additionally, to facilitate limited sharing of map data, project owners can share specialty GeoJSON export URLs from filters created by Mapeo Desktop.

Usage

With NodeJS and npm installed, run in a terminal:

npm install --global mapeo-web

and then

mapeo-web

This will output a URL of where the service is running. You can plug any Mapeo project ID into it and have it begin being hosted.

Security

A Mapeo Project ID acts as a symmetric encryption key. This means, whoever this ID is shared with can:

  • locate peers of this project on the local network or internet who are online & advertising their membership
  • write new map data to the project
  • read map data from the project
  • sync with those peers (download & upload map data)

So! This ID is very important. It needs to be treated as sensitive information. Any Project ID you enter into a Mapeo Web instance will give the operator of that service access to all of your data. Please be mindful of this.

Mapeo Web allows project owners to generate special GeoJSON export URLs. These URLs are obfuscated so that someone who has the URL will not be able to figure out what the original Project ID that the filter came from was. This is a safe way to control data sharing of a subset of your map data with 3rd parties.

For those who this makes sense to, Mapeo Web uses the blake2b hashing algorithm to hide the original Project ID.
