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.

reserve-npm-package

CLI tool to "reserve" an npm package name by publishing a temporary version 0.0.0-reserved.

Usage

Local (interactive):
- Run and follow prompts: npm run reserve
- Provide flags (use -- to forward flags through npm run): npm run reserve -- -p milkee-plugin -u otoneko.
- Or use positional args without -- (works with npm run directly): npm run reserve milkee-plugin otoneko.
CI / GitHub Actions: use the included workflow .github/workflows/reserve.yml (provide secret NPM_TOKEN).

How it works

Creates a temporary copy of the repository (does not modify your working tree).
Replaces every occurrence of milkee-plugin and otoneko. inside the temporary copy.
Writes a temporary .npmrc that uses process.env.NPM_TOKEN.
Runs npm publish from the temporary copy (the published version is 0.0.0-reserved).

Environment

Requires NPM_TOKEN set in the environment (CI: set as secret NPM_TOKEN).

Notes

The repository itself is not modified — all replacements happen in a temporary workspace.
The package.json version should (and by default is) 0.0.0-reserved for reservation.
If an unscoped publish is rejected (name already used or "too similar"), the CLI will not publish a scoped package. The username is used only for author/LICENSE placeholders; supply a different package-name to reserve.
