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.

Angular based real-time app for communicating with customers via IRC. Individual customers connect to a common IRC channel, giving staff members the ability to see all customers' messages, with the ability to respond directly and individually.

Banter.js

Talk to your clients in real-time as they browse your website over IRC!

Demo video: http://player.vimeo.com/video/72780386

It couldn't be any simpler the way it works. All of your support staff sit in one IRC channel, and clients can connect for help. They all enter the same IRC channel, but are unable to see each other. Messages are sent from the channel to individual clients using "USER: Hi!" format, and customers respond with their messages visible to all support staff – with each staff member having the ability to respond individually and directly.

Installation

Once you've installed npm and grunt:

Minify the JS and Sass files: grunt build
Run the Jasmine tests: grunt
Run the Ruby server: ruby demo/server/default.rb

Libraries

EventMachine – Ruby based event processing library: https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine
Ponder – EventMachine based IRC client: https://github.com/tbuehlmann/ponder
Angular – MVC JavaScript framework with EDA: https://github.com/angular/angular.js

Sass

By running grunt the Sass stylesheet will be processed and a CSS file created in dist. If you want to update the path to the images directory, then you can do that in the default.scss file by changing $assets-path and then running grunt.
