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 🙏

Serverless Websocket

Serverless websocket support using AWS IOT & Cognito. Similar to other services like Pusher & ably.

This was designed primarily for the browser, but will also work in Node.js

The implementation is low-level and just covers getting the websocket URL. You'll probably want to use an MQTT client to connect to it.

Install

npm install serverless-websocket

Usage

const websocketURL = await Create({
  accountID: accountID,     // your 9+ digit AWS account ID (not access key)
  identityPoolID: poolID,   // Cognito Pool ID. See below for setup
  endpoint: endpoint        // Endpoint provided by Cognito, see below.
  region: 'us-west-2',
})

// usage: you'll probably want to use a MQTT client
const ws = new WebSocket(websocketURL, ['mqttv3.1'])

How to

More coming soon, but for now you can refer to:

  • https://github.com/kmamykin/aws-mqtt#aws-setup-and-security
  • https://github.com/kmamykin/aws-mqtt/blob/master/src/createWebSocketStream.js

TODO

  • [ ] Eliminate aws-signature-v4 dependency. This will allow us to use less of the crypto library.
  • [ ] Simple MQTT client using https://github.com/mqttjs/mqtt-packet. Unfortunately, the MQTT clients are quite bloated in the browser, but the protocol is straightforward, so it wouldn't be hard to write a slim one on top of the standard websockets API.

Test

npm test
