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

side-glance

Side Glance is a local-first attention layer for coding-agent CLIs. It turns working, waiting, ready, failed, and inactive lifecycle events into a calm terminal or tmux status layer while protecting newer work from delayed hooks.

The npm CLI requires Node.js 22 or newer. macOS and glibc-based Linux are supported during the beta; Windows and musl/Alpine are not supported yet.

# Durable installation
npm install --global side-glance@beta
side-glance doctor --json
side-glance run -- claude

Use npx side-glance@beta doctor --json or npx side-glance@beta preview --phase waiting --json for evaluation. Side Glance deliberately refuses permanent provider installation from npx because npm's ephemeral cache is not a durable lifecycle-hook location.

After a global or standalone installation, native hook setup is explicit and creates backups before changing existing configuration:

side-glance install claude --json
side-glance install codex --json
side-glance uninstall claude --json
side-glance reset --all --json

The generic wrapper works with any executable:

side-glance run -- your-coding-cli

Side Glance never stores prompts, responses, or transcripts. No software can synchronously clean up after every component is killed or power is lost; Side Glance reconciles owned state on the next event and provides explicit reset recovery.

See the project repository for standalone downloads, the architecture, supported providers, terminal limitations, security policy, and release attestations.
