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 🙏

The project is located at /var/development/the-box-client/ on the PI.

Updating the framer package

One the package has been published, run the following command inside the project npm i dashboard-meeting-rooms-framer

Running the Application

npm run start

npm run start dev

Enabling autostart on bootup

On your Pi, edit the file /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart using the editor of your choice. You must edit with root, for example:

sudo nano /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

Add commands below the comment, but leave the line exit 0 at the end, then save the file and exit.

@/usr/local/bin/electron /var/development/the-box-client/runner.js

Notes for development

To ensure the applicationing will open up in the remote screen (inside an SSH session), use the following command.

export DISPLAY=:0

The command nohup will allow the application to continue running after closing the remote session.

If audio does not output through HDMI, use the following command.

amixer cset numid=3 2

Preventing the screen from dimming can be done by modifying the file

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Add the following lines to the [SeatDefaults] section:

# don't sleep the screen
xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
