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

Philoset

A curated collection of programming philosophies, engineering principles, and development practices — distributed as standalone Markdown documents.

License: MIT npm version Node

Every project is built on a set of decisions — how code is structured, how systems are designed, how trade-offs are made. Most of those decisions never get written down. Technical documentation explains what a system does. Philoset documents explain why a team builds software a certain way.

  • Document engineering principles
  • Share development practices across teams
  • Establish architectural guidelines
  • Capture lessons learned and best practices
  • Create a consistent engineering culture

Usage

npm i philoset

npx philoset list                      # List available documents
npx philoset add                       # Open the interactive picker
npx philoset add --all                 # Add every available document
npx philoset add backend               # Add a specific document
npx philoset add backend --force       # Overwrite existing files
npx philoset --help                    # Show available commands and options

Commands

| Command | Description | | --- | --- | | philoset list | List all available philosophy documents | | philoset add [name] | Add a document. Omit name to open the interactive picker. | | philoset --version | Print the installed version | | philoset --help | Show help for any command |

Good software is built on good decisions. Clear principles help teams make consistent trade-offs as systems grow in complexity.
