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 🙏

repotato

Share, discover, try out, and support amazing GitHub repositories - all from your terminal while Claude works.

A daily feed of GitHub repos you browse in your terminal, one at a time.

Install

npx repotato

If you're discovering repos

  • Browse the feed: npx repotato
  • Upvote a repo with — it stars the repo on GitHub.
  • Ask / try: press a to ask repotato's assistant to explain a repo, install and let you try it, or uninstall it cleanly — powered by your local Claude.
  • Press f for the daily leaderboard (Today / Yesterday).
  • Open a specific repo: npx repotato open <slug>

Voting & Repo of the Day

  • One upvote = one ⭐. Upvoting stars the repo on GitHub; there's no downvote — removing your upvote just un-stars it. The count is always the server's truth.
  • Each repo competes within its launch day. The top 3 by votes that day earn 🥇 / 🥈 / 🥉 Repo of the Day — frozen for good once the day closes (UTC).

If you made a repo

  • Launch it: run npx repotato and press L (or /repotato launch).
  • Every upvote it gets is a real ⭐ on your repo.
  • Add the badge (from your page on the web): it shows your repo name + live upvotes and auto-upgrades to the 🥇 Repo of the Day medal on the day you place top-3. One badge — paste it once, it updates itself.
