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 🙏

credits-generator

Takes in package.json and outputs a CREDITS.md file attributing the authors of your dependencies

Usage

  1. npx @opengovsg/credits-generator from your node project
  2. CREDITS.md generated!

An example is in this project's own package.json and CREDITS.md.

Motivation

Use of open-source software is often governed by the terms of their licenses. Such terms often include the obligation to provide some form of acknowledgement of use, along with the full text of the license. This practice is strongly recommended at several organisations, including the Government Technology Agency of Singapore.

This tool was hence created to make it convenient to attribute authors of dependencies in the node.js projects that we publish. As beneficiaries of open-source software, we want to provide due recognition to those authors, and hope that others would do so too.

More information on this topic can be found in this excellent article found at nexB

Limitations

Currently, this tool is only capable of retrieving LICENSE files from GitHub repositories. This may be problematic for dependencies hosted elsewhere, or license files with non-standard names.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to code open-sourced by the Government Technology Agency of Singapore. All contributors will be asked to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) in order to ensure that everybody is free to use their contributions.
