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 🙏

This is the command line interface for now: Realtime global deployments served over HTTP/2.

It's also a special kind of package. When you install it using npm install -g now, it will automatically select the latest version of the pkg-ed now binary from here and place it on your device.

Usage

Simply follow this guide! Then run this command to see a list of all commands:

Why Ship a pkg-ed Binary?

  • Simpler installation for non-Node users like those deploying static files or Dockerfiles.
  • Consistency across platforms and installation mechanisms (npm, brew and manual scripts)
  • Parsing and evaluation optimizations lead to a faster bootup time
  • Easier installation in automation environments (like CI systems)
  • Increased safety by providing a unified signature mechanism for releases
  • We're able to select our own Node version of choice and can take advantage of the latest features

Caught a Bug?

  1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
  2. Link the package to the global module directory: npm run link (not npm link)
  3. You can now start using now from the command line!

As always, you can use npm test to run the tests and see if your changes have broken anything.
