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 🙏

stubshot

v0.1.2

Published

Generate deterministic local placeholder images

Readme

Stubshot (CLI)

This package provides the stubshot CLI.

Usage

From a project:

npx stubshot generate --out public/placeholders --count 12 --sizes 1200x800,800x800 --theme mesh-gradient --format svg --prefix product --seed my-project --manifest --base-url /placeholders

Formats: svg, png, jpg, webp (via the default local provider).

BYOK providers

You can install optional providers, like OpenAI:

npm i -D @stubshot/provider-openai

Then run:

stubshot generate --provider openai --format png --out public/placeholders --count 4 --sizes 1024x1024 --theme mesh-gradient --seed my-project

Provider discovery

List known providers and whether they’re installed:

stubshot providers

Shell completion

Bash:

stubshot completion bash > /tmp/stubshot.bash
source /tmp/stubshot.bash

Zsh:

stubshot completion zsh > /tmp/_stubshot
fpath=(/tmp $fpath)
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

Caching

To avoid regenerating identical images (especially with BYOK providers), enable a disk cache:

stubshot generate --provider openai --format png --cache-dir .stubshot-cache --out public/placeholders --count 4 --sizes 1024x1024 --theme mesh-gradient --seed my-project

Disable cache:

stubshot generate --no-cache ...

Config files supported:

  • stubshot.config.json
  • stubshot.config.js

Monorepo dev

pnpm install
pnpm -r build
pnpm stubshot generate --out public/placeholders --count 3 --sizes 1200x800 --theme mesh-gradient --format svg --prefix product --seed my-project --manifest
