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 🙏

About

Working on a lot of different github packages means a lot of maintenance work, so it's nice to automate some of the tedious bits.

sdv is a command-line tool & has commands for creating the following files & directories:

  • .gitignore
  • .travis.yml
  • CHANGELOG.md
  • CONDUCT.md
  • CONTRIBUTING.md
  • ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
  • LICENSE.md
  • README.md
  • docs/
    • api.md
    • getting-started.md
    • README.md
    • related-modules.md
  • examples/
    • basic-usage.js
    • README.md
  • tests/
    • index.js
    • README.md

The sdv project command will create all of the above files, or see the usage section below for commands that create each individual file/directory.

What's with the sdv name?

Hey those are my initials! I don't intend on this being a general use tool. I'm not keen on maintaining something like yo that's meant to be extensible for a wide range of uses. I just want to quickly copy the files that I often need to create for each new npm package. And if you can benefit by forking this project or using it as inspiration then that's cool with me.

Want to use sdv?

You can fork it, rename it to your initials (or something like that), and change the config.js file and the templates to reflect your tools & preferences.

Install

npm install -g sdv
