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 🙏

Make importing great again! A parody package that imposes tariffs on Node.js requires.

Readme

👊 TARIFF 🔥

The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Node.js package that makes importing great again!

About

TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Node.js packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE!

This is a Node.js port of the original Python tariff package created by @hxu296. Big thanks to the original author for this TREMENDOUS idea!

Installation

npm install tariff-nodejs

Available on npm

Usage

const tariff = require('tariff');

// Set your tariff rates (package_name: percentage)
tariff.set({
    "lodash": 50,     // 50% tariff on lodash
    "express": 200,   // 200% tariff on express
    "axios": 150      // 150% tariff on axios
});

// Now when you require these packages, they'll be TARIFFED!
const lodash = require('lodash');   // This will be 50% slower
const express = require('express'); // This will be 200% slower

How It Works

When you require a package that has a tariff:

  1. TARIFF measures how long the original require takes
  2. TARIFF makes the require take longer based on your tariff percentage
  3. TARIFF announces the tariff with a TREMENDOUS message

Example Output

JUST IMPOSED a 50% TARIFF on lodash! Original import took 45000 us, now takes 67500 us. American packages are WINNING AGAIN! #MIGA

Why TARIFF?

Because foreign packages have been STEALING our CPU cycles for TOO LONG! It's time to put AMERICA FIRST and make importing FAIR and BALANCED again!

This is a parody package. Use at your own risk. MAKE IMPORTING GREAT AGAIN!
