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 🙏

piche

UwU A localtunnel based pipe tool to share text quickly from terminal. Created with create-pastel-app, inspired by fiche.

Made in roughly 9 hours with the help of the following awesome libraries:

Zero-install Usage

UvU You will need nodejs >= 10

Start piche local tunnel:

npx piche -s

(Optionally) Piche local temp tunnel:

npx piche -st

piche will cleanup all the data piped on SIGINT.

Pipe data to piche and share it with other:

echo hello world | npx piche

(Optionally) Pipe data to piche with a custom name:

echo hello world | npx piche -n="hello.txt"

Why piche?

  • The files are all hosted locally. Your data pipe through localtunnel temporarily. Once piche is shutdown, your data remains on your local machine.
  • When you want to quickly share some log that carry sensitive data (which you shouldn't in the first place) and disable it right away after recipent has received it.

Install globally

$ npm install -g piche
