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 🙏

pi-background-work

Promote already-running foreground work in Pi into session-bound background jobs.

pi install npm:pi-background-work

Type /background while a shell command or subagent run executes: the original execution keeps running exactly once, Pi gets its turn back, and the completion is delivered when the agent is idle. By default Pi resumes automatically only if you have not sent another prompt since promotion. The live footer advertises /background while eligible work is foreground, then tracks running jobs and undelivered results (↳ ⠼ 2 background · 3m12s · ✓ 1 done). Completion messages stay compact until expanded with Pi's tool-expansion key.

Commands: /background, /background-jobs (live active-first TUI palette with expandable output and direct cancel/retry keys), /background-config (edit, repair, and reload), /background-doctor.

One install registers the coordinator, a promotion-capable wrapper around Pi's stock bash tool, and the bundled @davecodes/pi-subagents fork (full pi-subagents with top-level foreground-run promotion — remove any standalone npm:pi-subagents settings entry to avoid double registration).

Configuration (~/.pi/agent/background-work.json), guarantees, group isolation for orchestrators, and the adapter SDK for third-party tool owners are documented in the repository README.
