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 🙏

  • type - Eddystone type
  • txPower - Measured received power at 0 m in dBm
  • url - (expanded) URL the beacon is broadcasting
  • tlm - TLM data, only present when interleaved broadcasts are used by the beacon
  • rssi - RSSI of discovered beacon
  • distance - Approximate distance from beacon

  • rssi - RSSI of discovered beacon
  • distance - Approximate distance from beacon
TLM
  • tlm
    • version - TLM version
    • vbatt - Battery voltage
    • temp - Temperature
    • advCnt - Advertising PDU count
    • secCnt - Time since power-on or reboot
  • rssi - RSSI of discovered beacon

Start scanning

Start scanning for Eddystone beacons, you can specify whether to allow duplicates (default is false).

You can also specify the grace period (time to wait before declaring the beacon as lost). Default is 5000 ms.

EddystoneBeaconScanner.startScanning(allowDuplicates, gracePeriod);

Note: the lost event will only be triggered when allowDuplicates is set to true.

Stop scanning

Stop scanning for Eddystone beacons.

EddystoneBeaconScanner.stopScanning();
