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 🙏

Custom working-message phrases for pi.

Readme

pi-working-message

Release License pi package

A small, focused pi package that customizes the working message shown while the agent is busy.

It changes only the working message and nothing else:

  • no footer changes
  • no title bar changes
  • no thinking-label changes
  • no extra UI widgets

For each request, pi-working-message shows exactly one phrase. The phrase does not rotate during the same response.

Features

  • works as soon as the extension is installed
  • random phrase selection
  • safe defaults
  • standard pi package layout

Default behavior

If the extension is installed, it is enabled. No config file is needed.

Installation

Install from npm

pi install npm:pi-working-message

To update later:

pi update npm:pi-working-message

Install from GitHub

pi install https://github.com/viartemev/[email protected]

Install from a local path

pi install /absolute/path/to/pi-working-message

If pi is already running, execute:

/reload

Commands

  • /working-message — show current status
  • /working-message preview — preview the next phrase

Notes

  • one request = one phrase
  • phrases are built into the extension
  • uninstall or disable the extension to stop changing the working message
