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

s3fuse 📁☁️

s3fuse is yet another S3 FUSE file system implementation, this time in Node.js! It aims to be a super simple, stable and relatively fast way of browsing S3 and downloading files. Writing can be risky because of eventual consistency, and will not be supported by this project.

I wrote this quickly because I needed a really simple and stable S3 file system for running on a server application. Other options were either too complex, buggy or crashing/hanging all the time.

Install

  1. Install Fuse
  2. Install Node.js
  3. Run npm install -g s3fuse

Usage

Specify AWS settings and credentials in your ~/.aws/ or in the environment:

export AWS_PROFILE=profile
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secretkey

Then run:

s3fuse bucket-name /mnt/path

Features

  • Caches dir and file names for faster browsing
  • Simple implementation and should be very stable

Limitations

  • Read only
  • Only sequential requests (no parallelization yet in node-fuse-bidings)
  • Downloading files is very slow because of previous point

TODO

  • Handle objects with no permissions (currently will probably just give Input/output error)
  • Automated tests
  • Maybe use libfuse directly using node-ffi
  • Handle IsTruncated
