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 🙏

whatsapp-cli

A simple CLI for WhatsApp to send a message right from the terminal. It is using Chrome's Puppeteer. So, it doesn't use any official/non-official APIs from WhatsApp, just a very basic automation script that runs in the background.

Why

You can use it to automate some regular messages to the loved ones, friends or colleagues.

Such as, save this in a batch file and let your SO know that you are coming home late with a simple command execution.

Personally, it was fun to try something new. :)

Installation

Known Issues

  • Sometimes the message is not sent due to delays in loading or typing the message. I added some timeouts to mitigate this.
  • First time login page might appear in the background or the page that sends the automated message might appear in the foreground. I couldn't find a way to control it. Also, WhatsApp App doesn't support headless mode. So, I couldn't just have a CLI as I was hoping for it.
  • Puppeteer downloads a custom version Chromium as part of its package. Puppeteer has a way to configure the location of the Chrome. But, I found this a bit more convenient with the cost of some 70mb.

Developers

It is quite basic CLI for sure. Any ideas that don't violate WhatsApp's ToS are welcome!
