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 🙏

FAQ

How does this work?

When photoshop starts beach balling, it's sometimes possible to get it to start responding without having to force-quit it and lose all of your work.

The operating system will typically send a signal to the photoshop process to pause it, if the operating system is having problems. These "problems" include running low on RAM, running low on disk space, or using 100% CPU.

After you alleviate the "problems" mentioned above, running this program will send a SIGCONT signal to the photoshop process to tell it to continue operating.

Will this always work?

No. If your photoshop is beach balling for another reason, this will not do anything.

Is this dangerous to do?

No. SIGCONT is a harmless signal to send if the process is not paused; it'll be as-if nothing has happened. Worst-case scenario: this program does nothing.
