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 🙏

Max.Term

Max.Term

max.term is a framework for building terminal bots on the commandline using ansi + UTF animation loops, plugged into bot "personalities". You can use it to read RSS feeds to you, amuse and annoy friends as well as script it for your own purposes.

Install

npm install -g max.term
max install personality headroom
max install engine eliza
max --headroom say "I am installed correctly"
max --headroom ask "What is your name"
max --headroom news http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/news_front_page/rss.xml

Existing Bots

  • HAL : A homicidal ship computer.
  • AnnaK : Mostly talks about Johnny.
  • Headroom : A venerable, but glitchy personality who used to be stuck in a TV, but is now stuck in a terminal.
  • Lieutenant : A mutant from a post apocalyptic future.

The above bots are made by me and I can vouch for them. You can also search npm for bots others have made.

Bot Ideas

  • Eliza : The oldest of the personalities
  • Dr.Sedayto : A bad clone of eliza, not a doctor, but it thinks it is.
  • Holly : A highly unreliable computer
  • Durandal : A homicidal ship computer
  • VALIS : An orbital superintelligence that can beam enlightenment to the user.
  • Wintermute : An AI seeking to better itself.
  • Project2501 : The PuppetMaster is just looking for an AI to settle down with.
  • Heart of Gold : An exceedingly (exhaustingly) nice ship computer.
  • DaVinci : A virus targeting energy companies.
  • MCP : Cares a whole lot about maintaining the microkernel

Building a Bot

Put some gifs in directories:

  • /assets/idle/ : put a number of gifs here that will be loaded and cycled through during idle
  • /assets/talking/ : put a number of gifs here that will be loaded and cycled through during talking
  • /assets/emotions/ : put a number of gifs, each named for the emotion it represents

set options, config, voice in it's package.json

Roadmap

  • AIML
  • frame cache

  • make query source plugins
  • support voice synth plugins
  • dialog tree support
  • curses-like interaction support
  • Desktop apps (just a wrappered terminal for the UI impared)
