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 🙏

What is bionode-watermill

Bionode-watermill is a workflow engine that lets you assemble and run bioinformatic pipelines with ease and less overhead. Bionode-watermill pipelines are essentially node.js scripts in which tasks are the modules that will be assembled in the final pipeline using orchestrators.

Main features

  • Modularity
  • Reusability
  • Automated Input/Output handling
  • Ability to run programs using Unix shell
  • Node.js integration
  • Streamable tasks (still not implemented - Issue #79)

Who is this tool for?

Bionode-watermill is for biologists who understand it is important to experiment with sample data, parameter values, and tools. Compared to other workflow systems, the ease of swapping around parameters and tools is much improved, allowing you to iteratively compare results and construct more confident inferences. Consider the ability to construct your own Teaser for your data with a simple syntax, and getting utmost performance out of the box.

Bionode-watermill is for programmers who desire an efficient and easy-to-write methodology for developing complex and dynamic data pipelines, while handling parallelization as much as possible. Bionode-watermill is an npm module, and is accessible by anyone willing to learn a little JavaScript. This is in contrast to other tools which develop their own DSL (domain specific language), which is not useful outside the tool. By leveraging the npm ecosystem and JavaScript on the client, Bionode-watermill can be built upon for inclusion on web apis, modern web applications, as well as native applications through Electron. Look forward to seeing Galaxy-like applications backed by a completely configurable Node API.

Installation

Local installation:

npm install bionode-watermill

Global installation:

npm install bionode-watermill -g

Documentation
