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 🙏

Readme

@antitoxic/mac-openchrometab

  • npm package which offers a single function called openChromeTab
  • openChromeTab opens a URL in Google Chrome (or other Chromium alternative), reusing tab if present
  • if tab is not opened already, it will attempt to load the URL in a tab which is blank (about:blank) or create a new tab
  • if Google Chrome is not running, it will start it
  • if Google Chrome window is unfocused or minimized, it will respectively focus & un-minimize

To make work, this package uses a JXA script written in TypeScript. Even though JXA is outdated and unsupported JavaScript, the TypeScript offers more familiar development environment than the usual AppleScript used for automating mac.

Usage

import { openChromeTab } from '@antitoxic/mac-openchrometab';
//...
openChromeTab('http://localhost:8080');

Use cases

  • During active web development, you can automatically open or reuse already opened tab
  • Writing scripts to focus on specific tab you know the url of.
