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 🙏

Continuous Integration (CI)

Alseta was designed to be used in a CI environment, but there are several ways it can be used. The most "end to end" option is to check if yarn.lock is in the committed files, then run alseta verify --warn. If the verify step has a message then verification failed, at which point alseta update can be run to update. This leverages the fact that your yarn.lock is different, which is often the trigger for busting a CI cache. If however your cache works differently, the install step may be necessary.

If you're concerned about dependency updates causing downstream issues, ~~then you should probbly have unit and integration tests~~ you can just add alseta verify as a test script. If it fails, your build will fail which allows a reviewer and the developer to fix the problem manually.
