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

port-hunter-cli

Interactive terminal UI to list TCP listening ports (with project / command hints on macOS) and end listeners after confirmation. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Install (global)

npm install -g port-hunter-cli

With pnpm:

pnpm add -g port-hunter-cli

Usage

port-hunter          # mouse + keyboard TUI
port-hunter --once   # print table once, then exit
port-hunter --help

TUI shortcuts

  • Mouse: click a port row to start kill flow (two confirmation dialogs). Click the same row again also starts the flow.
  • Enter (list focused): same as activating the row (kill flow).
  • Arrows / j k / wheel: move highlight only (does not open kill dialog).
  • r / Refresh: rescan ports.
  • q / Quit: exit.
  • / : focus filter; Enter / Esc from filter returns to list.

Kill uses SIGTERM (graceful) after both confirmations.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • Port discovery uses lsof / ss (Unix) or netstat (Windows). Process details on non-macOS Unix are best-effort compared to macOS.
