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 🙏

podchecker

v0.1.0

Published

Check CocoaPods dependencies for new versions.

Readme

Podchecker - Version Checker for CocoaPods

Podchecker will scan your Podfile.lock for Pods that are currently installed and check if they are up-to-date with the latest version available online.

This is particularly handy when you have specified the versions in the Podfile using the ~> operator to preserve compatibility with your app, but want to check for new major versions of your dependecies from time to time. Podchecker saves you the time to look up each of your Pods individually.

You can also use it to get a list of Updates, whithout having to run pod update.

Installation

Install Node.js, then run

sudo npm install -g podchecker

Usage

cd into your project directory containing the Podfile and Podfile.lock, then run podchecker. Example output:

$ podchecker
Dependencies up-to-date:
ECSlidingViewController: 2.0.3 (2.0.3 installed)
