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 🙏

Readme

regkata

A small, hands-on CLI for learning regular expressions. It works like a kata: short lessons, immediate feedback, repeat.

Why it exists

Regex is best learned by doing, not by skimming a cheat sheet. regkata gives you a prompt, test cases, and a place to try patterns until they click.

Install

bun install -g regkata

Or:

npm install -g regkata

Run

regkata

Controls

  • Arrow keys: select a lesson
  • Enter: submit your regex
  • ?: show hint
  • exit: return to menu

What you get

  • 36 lessons, ordered from fundamentals to advanced pattern design
  • White Belt fundamentals, Yellow Belt real-world patterns, Orange Belt advanced drills, Green Belt expert challenges
  • Instant feedback against multiple test cases
  • Progress saved between sessions
  • Clean, readable CLI built with Ink

Lessons

The full lesson list lives on the website so the README stays lean. Run regkata to see the catalog in the CLI. If you are contributing lessons, use docs/lessons.md for the authoring rules and checklist.

Development

git clone https://github.com/JR-G/regkata.git
cd regkata
bun install
bun run dev
bun run typecheck
bun run lint
bun run build
bun run check

Tests

bun run test

Releases

Create a release PR with a semver bump:

bun run release patch

After that PR is merged to main, tag and publish:

bun run release:tag

Publishing is handled by GitHub Actions on v* tags.
