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 🙏

Without any arguments, dank will prompt for a template to use.
With [template], dank will copy the template into the current dir.
With [yourdirname], dank will give the new folder the specified name.

add <yourdirname> will add your (relative or absolute) dir to the usable templates.
config will walk through a setup that specifies default package.json values.

If you are generating a project, a directory will be created (within the current directory) with the given name.

Template is one of:

barebones-react for a basic react setup (webpack dev server with hot reloading).

react-express for react with express (still has webpack with hot reloading).

fullstack-db A full stack setup with react-router, redux bindings, express and knex on the backend with code for a postgres db.

basic-angular A basic Angular 2 setup with Typescript, taken from the tutorial https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html.

basic-auth An express server with authentication and encryption using passport and bcrypt, in conjunction with a postgres database. Uses handlebars for the frontend.

All templates come with a README.md for further information/scripts.
