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 🙏

BirthdayMan - a Toy App for managing birthday reminders

Introduction

This is a "toy" app based on the app created by Dan Amber as part of an online video / tutorial about NBB - here's a link to his project

In the spirit of trying to learn NBB for myself but get a flying start from Dan's excellent video, I decided to change the DB to sqlite3 and to add another bit of data (what the person wants for their birthday), and then add extra functionality to change the gift idea and to be able to search for birthdays on an arbitrary date.

Here's a link to Dan's video - The video is Dan coding and getting pair assistance from the excellent borkdude, creator of Babashka and NBB amongst other awesome stuff from the Clojure Ecosystem.

Usage - Installation

npm install -g birthdayman-sqlite

To use the app simply use the following commands:

  • birthdayman
  • birthdayman help
  • birthdayman list
  • birthdayman list-people etc.

Usage - Development

If you just want to play around with this for yourself the simplest way to do that is to clone the repo, and then follow these steps:

  1. npm install -g nbb
  2. npm install

(You will need a current version of NodeJS to satisfy the dependency needs of NBB)

Usage - Running the app in development

Simply run the following in the root of the project to add a Birthday that you want to remember:

node index.mjs

If you want to see a list of commands available, use:

node index.mjs help
