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

pi-reddit-research

Reddit JSON research tools and a matching skill for pi, focused on compact evidence packs for opinions, bugs, fixes, comparisons, settings, alternatives, trends, guides, hardware, and real-world cases.

Features

Registers these pi tools:

  • reddit_url_extract — parse Reddit URLs, permalinks, post IDs, and comment IDs.
  • reddit_resolve_subreddits — find and rank subreddit candidates for a topic.
  • reddit_pack — build a compact evidence pack from posts and top comments.
  • reddit_search — search Reddit posts without fetching full comment threads.
  • reddit_thread — fetch one thread and top comments.
  • reddit_subreddits — raw subreddit search.
  • reddit_trends — inspect hot/top/new posts in one or more subreddits.

Also registers /reddit command:

  • /reddit status
  • /reddit search <query>

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-reddit-research

From GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/SaintNerona/pi-reddit-research

For local development:

pi -e /absolute/path/to/pi-reddit-research

Usage

Ask pi questions like:

  • "What does Reddit think about Claude Code vs OpenCode?"
  • "Find Reddit fixes for this error: ..."
  • "What settings do ComfyUI users recommend for ...?"

The bundled skill teaches the model when to use reddit_pack, reddit_search, reddit_thread, and related tools.
