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 🙏

pw-vault

v0.1.0

Published

Cross-platform encrypted password vault CLI with a pw-compatible workflow.

Readme

pw-vault

pw-vault is a cross-platform password vault CLI that keeps the familiar pw workflow while storing secrets in an encrypted file instead of a macOS sparse image.

Install

From a local checkout

npm install
npm link

After publishing

npm install -g pw-vault

Usage

pw help
pw gen github.com --username [email protected]
pw copy github.com
pw copy github.com username
pw set github.com
pw ls
pw rm github.com
pw migrate --from /Volumes/Vault
pw vault backup ~/Desktop/vault-backup.enc
pw vault rekey

Storage

The vault is stored in an OS-appropriate application data directory unless you override it with PW_VAULT_DIR.

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/pw-vault
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/pw-vault
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\\pw-vault

The encrypted file is named vault.json.enc and backups are written to the backups/ subdirectory.

Environment variables

  • PW_VAULT_DIR: Override the data directory.
  • PW_MASTER_PASSWORD: Provide the vault password non-interactively.
  • PW_CLIPBOARD_CLEAR_SECONDS: Default clipboard clear timeout in seconds.

Migration

Use pw migrate --from <directory> after mounting or exporting the legacy vault contents as .txt files. Each file should be named after the entry, for example gmail.txt.

The importer accepts either:

password

or:

username
password

Notes

Clipboard support uses native tools when available:

  • macOS: pbcopy
  • Linux: wl-copy, xclip, or xsel
  • Windows: clip

If no clipboard tool is available, the CLI reports a clear error.
