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-techpulse

A native Pi extension that gives coding agents a configurable technology trend digest. It fetches Hacker News, GitHub Trending, RSS feeds, and Reddit RSS, caches stories locally, ranks repeat appearances and source scores, and returns TOON, JSON, or Markdown.

Install

From this repository:

pi install git:github.com/musichen/pi-techpulse

Or load it for a quick test:

pi -e https://github.com/musichen/pi-techpulse

Use

After installation, start Pi in a project and use /reload. The session hook refreshes the cache and adds a compact trend snapshot to agent context.

/techpulse
/techpulse --refresh

Agents can call the techpulse_digest tool with format (toon, json, or markdown), days, limit, query, and refresh.

TechPulse only collects, deduplicates, caches, ranks, and summarizes. Hermes or another agent interprets the stories into blog, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other editorial ideas.

Configure sources

Copy or create config/sources.json in the project where Pi runs. Each source has a name, type (rss, hacker_news, or github_trending), URL, and optional limit. Set enabled to false to pause a source. If no project config exists, the bundled defaults are used.

The cache is stored in the project at .pi/techpulse-cache.json so it is local, inspectable, and easy to back up. Add it to .gitignore if it should remain private.

Distribution

This is a dependency-light Pi package: its runtime uses Node built-ins and Pi's extension APIs. No Python, external service, API key, or database server is required.
