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 🙏

Screenshot

Main Window

Requirements

  • Node v8+
  • puppeteer v0.13.0+

Tested on Windows with Node v8.9.1 and puppeteer v0.13.0

Installation

  • Clone this repository. git clone https://github.com/sarfraznawaz2005/whatspup.git
  • Type npm install
  • Type node chat.js USERNAME (case-sensitive)
  • Chrome will open up, now just scan Whatsapp QR Code once via whatsapp app in your mobile
  • Wait for connection and start typing your messages :smile:

NOTE: Once you have connected by scanning QR code, your session will be saved so you won't have to scan it again and again unless you revoke from whatsapp app or by deleting tmp folder.

Commands

Changing User

You can switch chat with another user anytime by typing on console: --chat USERNAME (case-sensitive)

NOTE: USERNAME is supposed to be a person with whom you have already initiated a conversation in whatsapp. In other words, we use a selector to click that user's name from conversations list.

Clear Chat Screen

To clear chat screen, type --clear.

Options

You can set various options in config.js file.

Others

  • You can send common emojis directly by typing :smile:, :lol:, :happy:, :love:, :wink: OR ;-), :-), <3, etc

Issues

  • Currently does not seem to work in invisible/headless mode (seems to be a bug in puppeteer currently). So you have to set window option to true in config.js file.
