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 🙏

Featured Topics Extended

Featured Topics Extended is a plugin for creating lists of topics and featuring them on different areas of the forum.

There are two types of lists: User Lists and Global Lists.

User Lists

The default user list is "Blog". Each user has their own unique set of lists. Topics are added manually to a User List by using the Post Tools menu on the FIRST POST of a topic. Lists are managed on the /user/<user>/featured page.

Blog Page

The topics featured in the default Blog list are automatically displayed on the /user/<user>/blog page.

Global Lists

The default admin list is "News" All admins and global moderators share the same set of lists. Topics are added manually to a Global List by using the Topic Tools menu of a topic. Lists are managed on the /featured page.

News Page

The topics featured in the default News list are automatically displayed on the /news page.

The style of the news page is very customisable from within the ACP settings page. You can also select from a list of styles that mimic popular blogging sites.

Widgets

The are an extensive amount of widgets for Featured Topics Extended. With widgets, you can place a Featured Topic List almost anywhere on your forum. Widgets are available that match parts of your forum's theme exactly or that mimic widgets from other plugins such as widget-essentials.

The news page itself is also available in widget form. In this way, you can have any page display blog-like topics using their own list and their own style.
