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-crypto-price-management

Library for tracking crypto prices from a number of sources with redundancy to prevent price manipulation errors

Reasoning

Coinmarketcap had a bug in late 2021 that surged the prices of all cryptocurrencies on their platform for multiple hours. Sites (most notable one that I can think of being csgoempire.com) that relied on them for accurate crypto prices to manage things like deposits and withdrawals (in amounts of fiat currency and not crypto) lost major amounts of money.

Robust systems cannot rely on a single point of failure.

How it works

I understand that crypto prices fluctuate a lot, so I will only be comparing prices to the last 24 hours.

Every X amount of time, prices for a list of currencies will be fetched from various cryptocurrency pricing APIs. The standard deviation between the different APIs will be taken. If the deviation exceeds X, then steps will be taken to find which API is giving faulty data. If data from all APIs is inconclusive, the price will not be saved. If the data is conclusive, a mean of the different APIs' prices will be taken and labelled as the newest price.

Then, mean of the last 24 hours of prices will be taken (this does not include the newest price) then the average deviation of the 24 hour mean compared to the newest price will be taken. If the average deviation is greater than X, the price will be considered invalid and will not be saved.

Price logging

The default method for logging prices will be JSON files. I will add support for other cold databases like MongoDB and PostgresSQL (or another SQL flavor)
