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 🙏

WebP2P - Pure Javascript framework for Peer to Peer applications over WebRTC

Jesús Leganés Combarro "Piranna" - [[email protected]]

WebP2P is a "Peer to Peer" filesharing framework written in pure Javascript mainly focused on the development of P2P filesharing applications. This project is also candidate for the [Universitary Free Software Championship] (http://www.concursosoftwarelibre.org/1213).

If you will fork the project (specially if you want to do modifications) please send me an email just to let me know about your progress :-)

About

File transfers in WebP2P is build over WebRTC PeerConnection [DataChannels] (http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html#rtcdatachannel) so they could be transfered directly between peers, but since currently they are not available natively it's necesary to use a [DataChannel polyfill] (https://github.com/piranna/DataChannel-polyfill). This makes it perfect for anonymity.

Let's make a purely browser based, ad-free, Free and Open Source private and anonymous distributed filesharing system!

and you'll be part of the discussion mailing list! ([Archives here] (http://librelist.com/browser/webp2p/)).

How to test it

This library is part of the ShareIt! project, so maybe you would interested in go directly there.

The peer connections are managed by an external handshake channel. Currently is being used primarily PubNub and [SimpleSignaling] (https://github.com/piranna/SimpleSignaling) using a test server hosted on Nodejitsu, but it's being researched to use some more standard and distributed handshake protocols in an annonimous way so this single-point-of-failure could be dropped.

Regarding to the browser, it's recomended to use a high edge one. Test are being done on Chromium v24 at this moment and currently it's the only officially supported (news about it being used sucesfully on other browser are greatly accepted!!! :-D ). You can test it locally opening two browser tabs, but it should work also if used between several machines (it was succesfully tested to transfer files through the wild Internet from Findland to Spain... :-) ).

I'll almost certainly agree.

Patches graciously accepted!
