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 🙏

FAQ

How is this different from node-red-contrib-sonos?

Our set of Sonos nodes are less error-prone and much easier to work with

  • config-node comes with a simple selection rather than entering IP Address manually
  • Sonos devices are identified by their serial number, not dynamic IP address
  • 1 single node to report all current status of device
  • Better documentation
  • It is maintained by a team of experienced developers & hackers
  • More convenient nodes are in development

I have some suggestions, how do I get in touch? Please create an issue in Github

How do I control my (non-smart) devices at home with NodeRED? Check out RMPlugin app developed by us. Here's an intro video for the hardware.
