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 🙏

FAQ

How does it work?

Normally in order to retrieve all repositories a user has interacted with, one should query the GitHub Events API. Unfortunately it returns only the last 90 days, so we don't use it.

Instead we noticed that the "Contribution Activity" section's content on the profile pages comes from URLs like https://github.com/AurelienLourot?from=2018-10-09 .

So we're fetching these URLs too and parsing their output.

Why is it so slow?

We hit a rate limit. And since it's not an official API, we can't use a token to raise the limit.

NOTE: the rate limit seems to be 40 requests / minute / endpoint / IP. Thus even if crawling a single user takes about 3 hours on a single machine, crawling many users in parallel on that same machine should still take about 3 hours.

Isn't it likely to break?

Yes, it is since that interface isn't public. We're monitoring it1 and will react as fast as we can when it breaks.

1 ghuser.io runs this tool every day.

github-contribs missed some of my commits. Why?

github-contribs can only discover commits considered as GitHub contributions, i.e. commits that would also appear in the activity section of your GitHub profile. For example it doesn't discover commits in forks.

Similar/Related projects

  • GitHub-contributions: uses a different technique. It fetches all the user's pull requests from the official API. This is clever but will miss the repos to which the user has pushed directly without pull request.
  • gharchive.org: records all GitHub events for all users. In theory it should be possible to replace our implementation by queries to this huge database.
