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 🙏

Welcome to **Orchetera** — your orchestration tool to kickstart Firebase-ready projects with ease!

Readme

🎼 Orchetera CLI Quickstart

Welcome to Orchetera — your orchestration tool to kickstart Firebase-ready projects with ease!


🚀 Getting Started

  1. Run Orchetera

    npx orchetera [your-project-directory]
  2. 🔧 Setup Firebase Config Make sure ../firebaseConfig.js exists and is properly filled.
    If it doesn’t, complete it manually like so:

    // ../firebaseConfig.js
    export const firebaseConfig = {
      apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
      authDomain: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID.firebaseapp.com",
      projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
      storageBucket: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID.appspot.com",
      messagingSenderId: "SENDER_ID",
      appId: "APP_ID"
    };
  3. ⏳ Let Orchetera Handle the Setup
    Sit back while Orchetera installs all required dependencies for you. 🧙‍♂️


🔥 Firebase Console Setup

Go to Firebase Console and do the following:

  • Activate Hosting
    ⚠️ Select regular Hosting, not App Hosting.

  • Enable Authentication
    Use the Email/Password provider.

  • Create Firestore Database
    Choose production mode or test mode.


🛡️ Firestore Security Rules

Replace the default rules with:

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}

📁 Directory Generated

Example structure:

/your-project-directory
├── /src
├── firebaseConfig.js ✅
├── .env
└── ...

🔐 Environment Config (.env)

  • .env file will be automatically generated.
  • ✅ An encrypted version of .env will also be created for safe transfer across devices.
  • 🔁 When switching devices, just decrypt it, and... boom! You're ready to run.
  • 🔑 During env generation, a password will appear in the CLIcopy and save it securely.

🔄 Update or Decrypt .env

  • To re-encrypt after modifying .env:

    npx dechipera
  • To manually decrypt on another machine:

    npx dechipera --dec

🌐 GitHub + Auto Deployment Setup

Once Orchetera finishes its setup:

  1. Create a GitHub Repository
    Push your project to the repo.

  2. Add GitHub Variable (not secret)

    • Name: DECHIPERA_TOKEN
    • Value: (Paste the decryption password from the CLI)
  3. Add GitHub Secret

    • Name: FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
    • Value:
      • Go to Firebase Console → Project Settings → Service Accounts
      • Click "Generate new private key"
      • Copy entire JSON content and use it as the secret value
  4. Commit and Push
    Once pushed, deployment will be triggered automatically 🎉
    The version will follow semantic versioning (semver) automatically.

  5. Open Your Firebase Hosting URL
    Boom 💥 — your website is live and accessible online!


💻 Local Environment Experience

After Orchetera setup is done:

  • VS Code will automatically open the newly created project folder
  • ✅ A browser tab will open pointing to the auto-generated local port (no port conflict — each project uses a random, safe port)

Now you can code, push, and boom!
Build your app as easily as flipping your hand ✋😉
