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

releasescribe-core

Generate clean, categorized changelogs and release notes from your git history and Conventional Commits — zero config, zero network, MIT licensed.

This is the open-source engine behind ReleaseScribe for VS Code (which adds one-click generation and optional AI polish).

Install

npm i -g releasescribe-core

Use

# Full history
releasescribe

# A range, a version label, and PR links
releasescribe --range v1.3.0..HEAD --version 1.4.0 \
  --pr-url-base https://github.com/your/repo/pull > CHANGELOG-new.md

Options

| Flag | Description | |---|---| | --range <git range> | e.g. v1.3.0..HEAD (default: full history) | | --version <label> | Heading version (default: Unreleased) | | --pr-url-base <url> | Turn (#123) into Markdown links | | --other | Include an "Other Changes" section for non-conventional commits | | --cwd <path> | Repository path (default: current directory) |

What it does

  • Parses feat, fix, perf, refactor, docs, scopes (feat(api):), breaking changes (feat!: / BREAKING CHANGE: footers), and PR refs (#123).
  • Groups into Features / Bug Fixes / Performance / ⚠ Breaking Changes.
  • Emits Keep a Changelog-style Markdown. Noise (chore, ci, build, test, style) is hidden by default.

Want one-click + AI-polished, customer-facing notes?

ReleaseScribe for VS Code wraps this engine with a Command-Palette workflow and an optional AI rewrite (bring your own LLM key) that turns terse commits into prose your users will actually read.
