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 🙏

v1.0.5

Published

Thin CLI for PAL — talks to your hosted PAL API (no local database).

Readme

palscli

A lightweight and fast command-line interface for PAL.

Installation

You can install palscli globally using npm:

npm install -g palscli

Note: Requires Node.js 20 or higher.

Usage

After installation, simply run palscli in your terminal to access the tool.

palscli

Commands

| Command | Description | | :--- | :--- | | login | Sign in using your GitHub account (device flow). | | chat | Start an interactive chat session with your PAL assistant. | | wakeup| Open the general interactive interface. | | whoami| Show the currently authenticated user profile. | | logout| Clear saved local credentials and sign out. |

Quick Start

  1. Login: Authenticate via device flow to connect to your remote API.
    palscli login
  2. Chat: Once authenticated, you can start conversing right away.
    palscli chat

Configuration (Advanced)

palscli acts as a thin client against your remote PAL API and does not manage local databases or secret keys (besides your own short-lived session).

If you are a developer testing a custom backend endpoint, you can override the target targets by passing flags to palscli login:

  • --server-url <url> Override the PAL API base URL.
  • --client-id <id> Override the GitHub OAuth Client ID.

(You can also use environment variables PALSCLI_API_URL and PALSCLI_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID).
