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 🙏

PHORBAS Opaque

PHORBAS Opaque is inspired by Content Addressable Stores and Tahoe-LAFS. The techniques of Tahoe-LAFS are generalized and expanded to include HMAC and Digital Signatures, as well as alternate hashing and encryption schemes and algorithms. The Opaque library handles the principles of Hashed, Opaque, and part of Addressable, as well as necessitates Binary key/content.

  • PHORBAS Store handles the principles of Persistent, Binary key/content, Addressable, and Store.
  • PHORBAS HAMT handles the principle of Replicable.

API & Use

About PHORBAS

The PHORBAS project implements a persistent binary data storage scheme that accomodates opaque (encrypted) information. It is inspired by binary content addressable data storage, replication features of CouchDB, the opaque data storage of Tahoe-LAFS, the eventual consistency of CRDTs, and persistent Hash array mapped trie data structures.

Phorbas appears in in Greek mythology and is connected to "giving pasture" -- in this case, safe pasture to for data storage.

P - Persistent
H - Hashed
O - Opaque
R - Replicable
B - Binary key/content
A - Addressable
S - Store

Due to the opaque nature of the data storage, the storage is not queryable like a database. It is similar to IPFS with a less ambitious goal of being a pratical data storage scheme for data for embedding into other projects.
