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 🙏

Remote Folder Sync

remote-folder-sync is a npm command line tool to download and upload directories to cloud services (ie: Dropbox)

Current state: proof of concept (PoC)

remote-folder-sync up to now supports only Dropbox. Its aim is to allow synchronization between Emacs and Orgzly. As a proof of concept, there are still several task to do. But there is already a working flow described in this post (TODO: Link post)

Getting started

Installation

Remote Folder Sync requires Node.js v4+ to run.

Install it as a global package

$ npm -g install remote-folder-sync

Use

Initialize the folder

$ cd folder-to-sync
$ remote-folder-sync init

Download the latest version of the files

$ cd folder-to-sync
$ remote-folder-sync pull

Upload your changes

$ cd folder-to-sync
$ remote-folder-sync push

Tips and tricks!

Custom alias

Setup an alias for remote-folder-sync

$ alias folder remote-folder-sync

That way, instead of:

$ cd folder-to-sync
$ remote-folder-sync pull
$ remote-folder-sync push

Just do:

$ cd folder-to-sync
$ folder pull
$ folder push

TO DOs

Remote Folder Sync is in state PoC. Further improvements can be done

| Priority | TODO | | ------ | ------ | | 1 | Check if the file already exist and provides a diff | 1 | Only uploads changed files | 2 | Use auth instead of accessToken for Dropbox | 2 | Check if the folder was initialized | 3 | Test connection | 3 | Show current files in the remote directory

Development

Want to contribute? Great!

remote-folder-sync uses Nodesjs + Typescript.

Open your favorite Terminal and run these commands.

Setup the project:

$ git clone https://github.com/johmsalas/remote-folder-sync.git
$ cd remote-folder-sync
$ yarn install
$ npm link

To test the project, run remote-folder-sync-dev instead of remote-folder-sync, like this:

$ remote-folder-sync-dev init
$ remote-folder-sync-dev pull
$ remote-folder-sync-dev push
