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 🙏

Reactifier.

A blog post aggregator bringing together React developers from across the globe.

How do I add my feed?

Send a pull request for the subscriptions.json file. We're glad to have you on the feed!

How does it work?

Reactifier is run as an AWS Lambda function. The compiled code and dependencies are zipped up and uploaded to AWS to be triggered as a Scheduled Event every hour. AWS executes the default export on the lambda.js module, which calls the reactifier() function.

The function pulls down all subscribed RSS feeds based on the subscriptions.json file. After the latest posts are retrieved, a static site is generated to display the post previews and provide an RSS feed. The static site is hosted entirely through S3.

But, why??

I didn't want to stand up $10/month cloud server and maintain it. Lambda allows me to periodically invoke my function, so I'm using a 128 MB instance for about 19 seconds every hour. That fits well within the free tier! \o/

What does the AWS Lambda configuration look like?
