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 🙏

project-begin

Based on an article https://dev.to/nikhilkumaran/don-t-use-create-react-app-how-you-can-set-up-your-own-reactjs-boilerplate-43l0 - "Don't use create-react-app: How you can set up your own reactjs boilerplate." by Nikhil Kumaran S
Basic react setup with babel, webpack with basic loaders.

This is similar to create-react-app but gives you more control over the build configurations.

Installation

yarn add project-creator

Usage

After initializing your project, you can use the following scripts.

Runs the app in the development mode.

npm start

Open http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser.

The page will hot reload if you make edits.

Builds the app for production and files are saved to the build folder.

npm run build

It bundles your files in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include hashes.

Your app is ready to be deployed!

This command will build your app and start a server called serve which will serve your build files.

npm run build-serve
