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 🙏

Readme

none-cli-package

The ultimate nothing package for Node.js.

🚀 Installation

npm install none-cli-package

Warning: This installation will take a very long time because nothing takes time.

📦 Usage

After installation, you can use it in two ways:

As a CLI tool:

npx none-cli-package
# or if installed globally:
none-cli

As a module:

const none = require('none-cli-package');

// This does nothing
none.doNothing();

// This returns nothing
const result = none.getNone();

// This checks for nothing
const isNothing = none.isNone(result);

🎯 Output

The package only outputs one line:

none-cli package is none

🔧 Options

  • --help or -h: Show help (ironically)
  • --version or -v: Show version
  • --verbose: Show verbose output (still nothing)

🤔 Why?

This package exists to demonstrate:

  1. The concept of "none"
  2. That sometimes, nothing is exactly what you need
  3. That installation time doesn't correlate with functionality
  4. The beauty of emptiness

📊 Features

  • ✅ Does absolutely nothing
  • ✅ Takes a long time to install
  • ✅ Minimal output
  • ✅ Zero dependencies (except for progress bar during install)
  • ✅ Perfect for any project that needs nothing

🏗️ Architecture

The package consists of:

  • index.js - Main module that does nothing
  • bin/none.js - CLI tool that says nothing
  • install.js - Installation script that takes forever
  • data/ - Directory containing nothing files

🧪 Testing

No tests are needed because:

  1. There's nothing to test
  2. Any test would be testing nothing
  3. The expected result is always nothing

📈 Performance

  • Installation time: Very long (by design)
  • Runtime performance: Instantaneous (does nothing)
  • Memory usage: 0 bytes (conceptually)
  • CPU usage: 0% (doesn't compute)

🤝 Contributing

Contributions are not accepted because:

  1. There's nothing to contribute to
  2. Any contribution would be adding something
  3. This package is about nothing

However, if you really want to contribute nothing, feel free to open an empty issue or submit an empty pull request.

📄 License

NONE - This package is licensed under the "No License" license, which means you can do nothing with it.

🙏 Acknowledgments

  • The void, for inspiration
  • Empty space, for being there
  • Nothingness, for everything

💭 Philosophy

"The nothing that is, is not the nothing that isn't." - Anonymous

This package embodies the Zen concept of emptiness. It's not that it lacks something; it's that it perfectly represents nothing.

🎲 Fun Facts

  1. This README has more content than the actual package
  2. The installation script is more complex than the package itself
  3. You just spent time reading about nothing
  4. That's the point

🚨 Disclaimer

This package:

  • Will not solve any problems
  • Will not add any features
  • Will not improve your code
  • Will not do anything at all

And that's exactly what it's supposed to do.


Remember: none-cli package is none
