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 🙏

Generate mocked node_modules folders

For easier development a script is available that will generate multiple mocked node_modules folders inside of the ./mock folder. The number of folders, files, and their names are randomized to simulate real-world scenarios.

# Generate a simple set of mocked folders (default, ~1s cleanup time)
bun run create-mocks

# Generate a complex set of mocked folders (~7s cleanup time)
bun run create-mocks -- --mode=complex

Run the script

The following command will then execute the script.

bun run dev ./mock              # Or any other path

Useful commands during development

bun run dev                     # Runs the script
bun run test                    # Runs the test suite
bun run unused-code-check       # Check for unused code
bun run lint                    # Run ESLint
bun run tsc                     # Runs TypeScript checks
bun run build                   # Builds the package
