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

npm-module-base

Base configuration for building and publishing npm modules. (If you see this on npmjs.com, do not use it as a dependency, but go to the GitHub repo and see if it is useful to you.)

Usage

Fork repo and update the relevant contents of package.json and other files, to fit your module and environment. Or just copy-paste the stuff you want.

The current configuration expects source files to be placed in ./src and the build is output in ./build, with ./build/index.js as the main entry point.

Credits

The good stuff in here was taken from, or inspired by, Trevor Miller's course "Publish JavaScript packages on npm" on egghead.io.
