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 🙏

Thin WebSocket<->TCP/TLS relay for using SocketBench against FIX acceptors

Readme

socketbench-fix-gateway

Thin WebSocket↔TCP/TLS relay so the browser-based SocketBench can talk to FIX acceptors (browsers cannot open raw TCP sockets).

Run

npx socketbench-fix-gateway              # listens on ws://localhost:9988
npx socketbench-fix-gateway -p 9100      # custom port (also --port 9100)
PORT=9100 npx socketbench-fix-gateway    # via env var
npx socketbench-fix-gateway --help       # usage

Then in SocketBench, pick the FIX protocol and set the gateway URL to ws://localhost:9988 (or your chosen port), plus the acceptor host/port and TLS toggle.

How it works

The browser connects with the target in the query string: ws://localhost:9988/?host=fix.venue.com&port=9823&tls=1. The gateway dials that host over TCP (or TLS), pumps bytes both ways, and splits the inbound stream into whole FIX messages on the 10=NNN checksum boundary. Its first WS message is a JSON control frame ({"type":"open"} / "error" / "close"); every later message is a raw FIX frame. It is not FIX-version-aware.
