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 🙏

Usage

npx siikafish                    # ask the fish a yes/no question
npx siikafish "ship on friday?"  # ...with the question on screen (optional)
npx siikafish apple banana       # spin to pick one of two options
npx siikafish swim               # just watch the fish swim forever

By default the fish spins like a coin with real momentum — it whirls, slows under friction, and wobbles to a stop pointing left for YES or right for NO, with the verdict spelled out in big letters on that side, and confetti for a YES.

Pass two arguments and it becomes a duel between them — the first is the left outcome, the second the right. The options stay hidden while it spins; once the fish commits to a side, the winner is revealed in big ASCII art (a block font for short words, a bordered box for longer phrases — picked to fit, with a little per-run variety) in your terminal's own text colour, and confetti rains on whichever side won. The answer is also printed to stdout on exit, so it's scriptable:

[ "$(npx siikafish | tail -1)" = YES ] && echo "doing it"

Press q or Ctrl-C to quit at any time.
