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 🙏

plusultra

A message gateway for multi-modal web apps.

Description

The work on this repo is part of my thesis. It represents a way to enhance contemorary web apps with multimodal capabilities. This particular piece offers a way to transmit on real-time multimodal messages to a set of connected clients.

Note

The work presented here is an early release. It shows a way to do a particular job but it needs more work to become a production-like tool.

Requirements

The platform needs a redis instance in order to work as a in-memory messages cache/dispatcher. Redis instance default port is: 6379.

Install

npm install https://github.com/dpaez/plusultra.git

Usage

node index.js

This will start a plusultra server instance. It opens a websocket connection with each of the connected clients. The platform requires each client to have an application key in order to be allowed to work. This key is created using the JSON web token tool.

The platform's default websockets port is: 26060

Options

The platforms allows the following options as CLI params.

$ node index.js OPTIONS

OPTIONS:

-sp, --sioPort                  Defaults: '26060' // websocket port
-eh, --entranceHost             Defaults: 'localhost'
-ep, --entrancePort             Defaults: '6379' // redis client port
-cs, --communicationStrategy    Defaults: 'socket.io'
