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 🙏

samplex

v0.1.6

Published

Deploy static sites to shareable preview URLs from the command line

Readme

Why samplex?

  • One command to deploy — no config files, no CI setup, no waiting
  • Instant preview URLs — share a link before your PR is even open
  • Zero lock-in — it's just static files on the edge

Quick start

# Authenticate with your sample.app account
npx samplex login

# Deploy from your build output directory
npx samplex deploy ./dist

Works with any package manager:

npx samplex login        # npm
bunx samplex login       # bun
pnpm dlx samplex login   # pnpm

Optional global install

npm install -g samplex    # or: bun install -g samplex / pnpm install -g samplex

Commands

| Command | Description | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | samplex login | Authenticate via browser (OAuth2 + PKCE) | | samplex deploy [dir] | Deploy a directory to a preview URL | | samplex list | List your deployed sites | | samplex delete <slug> | Delete a site by slug | | samplex init | Initialize or view project config |

Project config

Running samplex deploy saves a .samplex.config.json in your project root so subsequent deploys update the same site. You can also set it manually:

samplex init --slug my-site --name "My Site"

Options

  • --slug <slug> — Set the site slug (used in the preview URL)
  • --name <name> — Set a display name for the site
  • -v, --version — Print the CLI version

How it works

  1. Builds are archived as a .tar.gz with a SHA-256 integrity hash
  2. Uploaded to sample.app via authenticated API
  3. Served on a unique preview URL like my-site--username.sample.app
