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 🙏

stelnet

v1.0.2

Published

just make a telnet-like ssl connection to a host/port

Readme

stelnet

Make a SSL secured telnet connection to a host/port

Background

I like to use telnet to login to IRC servers and check various outputs, but it's insecure.

Enter stelnet

This is just a simple nodeJS stdin script that uses the tls default module with nodejs and makes a connection to a remote host and port. It's very basic, but get's the job done.

Installation

Make sure you have nodejs/npm installed on your system, and then, copy stelnet to a bin folder of somekind in your path.

Usage

stelnet example.com 6697

Add an additional parameter to connect to an insecure host

stelnet insecure.com 6697 insecure
