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 🙏

bit-drive

A file sharing alternative, built with web-torrent for small teams.

Why a P2P drive?

bit-drive can be a good alternative to cloud file hosting. Your files are saved on the computers of you and your peers. Given the greater number of people with your file, the faster it will be to download. Recently, I wanted to download an older version of xcode. This task took 18 hours to complete. After some thought, there is a bit of impracticality trying to ping a server 2000 miles away. What if there were multiple servers, in different regions, all sharing a piece of the big file you're trying to download? The download would be faster. An 18 hour download also increases the possibility of a download failing. Torrents can be resumed/pause as they do not work like traditional downloads.

What about current torrent clients?

bit-drive's code is less than 20 kb. The only function is to download files and list available torrents. There are no ads, it doesn't track your history and is simple to customize.

What about public torrent websites?

Yes, but public websites are filled with other torrents, that can be perceived as informal content. There are also barrages of ads.

Most recommended use?

bit-drive would be ideal to share applications you already own, such as xcode, photoshop, AutoCad. To generalize, big application installer files. Do not share private documents or source code, as the security limits of this program are currently unknown.
