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-web-research

Canonical publishable Pi package for the web-research extension.

web-research is intended to be a reusable research layer:

  • Pi can use it directly
  • future Pi extensions can rely on it for grounded web context
  • higher-level extensions should build on its search/fetch/research outputs instead of re-implementing internet research from scratch

Install into Pi

Recommended:

pi install npm:[email protected]

Then reload Pi or restart it, and use:

/web-research

Update

pi update

If you pin a version explicitly, install the newer version you want:

pi install npm:[email protected]

Backend config

After install, configure with:

/web-research

The menu lets you:

  • view status
  • save backend URL
  • save API key
  • save SearXNG fallback URL
  • adjust advanced settings
  • clear saved config

Native smoke test in this repo

After installing the published package into Pi, you can run:

npm run qa:package-smoke

That script verifies the installed package can register /web-research and execute search_web, fetch_url, and research_query through Pi's native RPC flow.
