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.

Node Type Chat

A simple test app making a p2p chat with node.js and typescript with chat in CLI.

Getting started

Clone or download the repository
Install dependencies

cd <project_name>
npm install

Build

npm build

Run

npm start

How to use

When starting a peer first input a port number this peer will listen on.

port 1200

Input a chatname for this peer

name JoeDoe

Then connect to network again by specifying ip andport to connect to. For first peer, choose to connect to itself (no others to connect to yet)

connect 127.0.0.1 1200

For second peer do the same, but when connecting choose the ip and port of first peer

port 1300
name IamSecondPeer
connect 127.0.0.1 1200

For third or more peer(s) choose any ip and port of an existing peer.

How it works

Each peer functions both as a server and a client. A server/peer then offers methods which other peers can call:

Checkin to network for first time
Notify of new (chat) message
Notify of new peer(s)
Getting list of peers this peer has
Notify of peer changed (chat) name

The peer itself offers these methods, and also use them from other peers

Next up

Make an index.js which exports the functions so can be used as a module. The CLI interface should be possible to build with this module. Which also means some of the current output, like a message, shouldnt be outputted in the module, so I guess incoming messages or other stuff needs some listener interface, where the module user is notified and can react upon those events.
