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-better-goal

v0.1.17

Published

Pi extension for goal tracking with background-aware continuation.

Readme

pi-better-goal

pi-better-goal is a Pi extension for goal tracking with background-aware continuation.

Quick Answer

Use pi-better-goal when a Pi session should keep an explicit objective visible until the foreground work and registered background activity are both done. It tracks active versus elapsed time and wakes the foreground when background work drains.

Screenshots

Core Features

  • /goal runtime for starting, pausing, resuming, completing, and clearing the current objective.
  • A compact goal widget that does not replace Pi's footer.
  • Background activity tracking for subagents and other registered providers.
  • A progress-aware follow-up loop that holds after repeated identical outcomes.
  • An observable-progress stall state for active goals.

Install

pi install npm:pi-better-goal

Try it for one run:

pi -e npm:pi-better-goal

When To Use

Use this package for longer Pi sessions where subagents, background tasks, or other providers may still be active after the foreground message is idle.

Do not use it when you only need a note or checklist outside Pi's runtime state.

Compatibility

| Requirement | Support | |-------------|---------| | Pi | Required | | Install method | pi install npm:pi-better-goal | | Background providers | Works with registered providers | | Development runtime | Node.js 22+ |

Update Or Remove

pi update npm:pi-better-goal
pi remove npm:pi-better-goal
