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 🙏

trycrit

v0.1.3

Published

Crit CLI — review your localhost UI from the terminal. Captures only the pages you changed and sends them to your Crit dashboard.

Readme

crit

Review your localhost UI from the terminal. Crit reads which files you changed, screenshots only those pages from your running dev server, and uploads the screenshots (never your code) to your Crit dashboard, where the review appears.

Use it

  1. In Crit → Settings, set "Where Crit sees your work" to Localhost and generate a CLI token.

  2. In your project:

    npx trycrit login <your-token>   # once, to connect this machine
    npx trycrit                      # after a commit you want reviewed

Crit captures the pages your change touched (desktop + mobile) and prints a link to the review.

Options

crit login <token> [--api <url>]   connect this machine
crit                               review the pages you changed
crit --url <url>                   dev server URL (default http://localhost:3000)
crit --base <ref>                  diff against a git ref instead of the working tree
crit --all                         review the homepage regardless of changes
crit logout                        forget the saved token

Notes

  • Needs a Chromium build for Playwright. If prompted, run npx playwright install chromium.
  • Your token is stored in ~/.crit.json (read/write to you only). Only screenshots and computed styles are uploaded — your source never leaves your machine.
