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 🙏

Barn

Barn is like yarn, but with a b.

Status: works on my machine.

Barn will figure out what package manager is being used in the current project, and defer execution to the right package manager.

This way you won't have to remember what package manager is being used in the current project you are working in.

Instead of running npm install nanoid in an npm managed repository, or yarn add nanoid in a yarn managed repository, or pnpm add nanoid in an pnpm managed repository.

Everywhere, simply run:

barn add nanoid

Supported package managers:

  • pnpm
  • yarn
  • npm

Installation

npm install -g @vijairamcharan/barn

Usage

Create new projects

Example:

barn create next-app

Note: for now defaults to pnpm. Configuration option coming soon.

Run package.json scripts

Examples:

barn dev
barn build

Other package manager commands

Examples:

barn add nanoid
barn remove nanoid
