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 🙏

Redundant pub/sub

Readme

Redub turns a bunch of objects implementing a simple pub/sub interface into a redundant pub/sub transport. It works dandy with redis-pubsub, but there's no hard dependency. Build Status

var pubsub = require('redis-pubsub');
var redub = require('redub');

var transport1 = pubsub.createChannel(...);
var transport2 = pubsub.createChannel(...);

var channel = redub(transport1, transport2);

channel.on('message', function(msg, id) {
    console.log(msg);
    channel.end();
});

var id = channel.send('Hello world!');

Behind the scenes, messages are wrapped in an envelope with a unique ID:

['2d1222ff-e0cd-4594-a1fb-19335c98e58c','Hello world!']

These IDs are tracked for a short time, and duplicates are dropped. The timeout is configurable:

// Defaults to 10 seconds. 0 means never time out.
// In practice, IDs are tracked anywhere between timeout and 2 × timeout.
channel.timeout = 10000;

The method with which IDs are generated is also configurable:

channel.uid = function(message) {
    // generate and return a unique ID string.
};

Redub will accept any object that quacks like an EventEmitter and implements the following:

  • method send(message) - must serialize (e.g. JSON.stringify) the message and publish it.
  • event message(message) - must be passed a deserialized message.
