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 🙏

Readme

token-companion

token-companion is the npm bootstrapper for the Token Companion desktop app.

Use npx, not npm i

npx token-companion

If npx is missing, install Node.js 22.12.0 or newer first:

https://nodejs.org/en/download

The npmjs.com package page shows npm i token-companion because that install box is generic npm UI. For this package, the intended entry point is npx token-companion.

What this package does

This package is intentionally small. It does not contain the full Electron app bundle.

When you run it, it:

  1. resolves the installer package version,
  2. downloads the matching GitHub source tag,
  3. runs the checked-in installer from that source tree,
  4. builds the Electron app locally,
  5. installs the built app for your platform.

Platform behavior:

  • macOS: builds the app and copies Token Companion.app into ~/Applications by default.
  • Windows: builds a local NSIS installer and runs it for a per-user install with Start Menu and uninstall support.
  • Linux: builds the native package and installs it with the system package manager.

Example source tarball:

https://github.com/pzarzycki/token-companion/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.9.tar.gz

Useful commands

npx token-companion --dry-run
npx token-companion@latest
npx [email protected]
npx token-companion --version v0.1.9

Update behavior

  • npx token-companion is not a background app auto-updater.
  • Running a newer installer version builds and installs a newer desktop app version.
  • npm can reuse cached installer packages. If you want the newest published installer immediately, run npx token-companion@latest.

Notes

  • The npm package is only the bootstrapper. The Electron app itself is built from the matching GitHub source tag on the local machine.
  • npm run verify is a contributor validation command and is not part of the end-user install flow.
  • Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper warnings may still occur because the built artifacts are unsigned.

Release model

  • GitHub tags vX.Y.Z are the release source of truth.
  • GitHub Actions builds release artifacts and publishes this npm package from packages/npm-installer.
  • npm Trusted Publishing should be used for steady-state releases.
