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 🙏

Awala Ping for Desktop

The Awala Ping for Desktop is a CLI implementation of the Awala Ping Service, which is meant to help test Awala itself.

This document is aimed at advanced users and (prospective) contributors. To learn more about using Awala in general, visit awala.network/users.

Install

This tool is available as the NPM package @relaycorp/awala-ping. To install it globally, run:

npm install -g @relaycorp/awala-ping

Use

Sending pings

To send a ping, run:

awala-ping ping

The command above will wait until the pong message is received.

Sending pings to custom endpoints

By default, the ping subcommand will communicate with the public endpoint at ping.awala.services. If you wish to use a different endpoint, you need to:

  1. Download the identity certificate for the public endpoint with which you want to communicate.
  2. Import the endpoint first with the third-party-endpoints import-public subcommand. For example:
    awala-ping third-party-endpoints import-public < /path/to/connection-params.der
  3. Specify the Internet address of your custom endpoint when you send pings. For example:
    awala-ping ping your-endpoint.com

Registering with the private gateway

By default, the ping subcommand will register with the Awala Gateway for Desktop if the app hasn't been registered yet. To register explicitly, run:

awala-ping register

Each registration will create an Awala endpoint internally. The latest endpoint to be created will become the default one.

Security and privacy considerations

The items below summarize the security and privacy considerations specific to this app. For a more general overview of the security considerations in Awala, please refer to RS-019.

No personally-identifiable information is stored

This app only stores cryptographically-generated data whose inputs are not derived in any way from personally-identifiable information.

External communication

This app only communicates with the following:

  • The private gateway.
  • Any public endpoint that the user sends pings to. By default, the Relaycorp-operated public endpoint at ping.awala.services is used.

This app doesn't track usage (for example, using Google Analytics), nor does it use ads.

Development

To install this app in development, simply run npm install from the root of the repository.

To run a subcommand in the CLI, pass the subcommand name to the command npm run run --. For example, to send a ping, run:

npm run run -- ping
