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 🙏

blink1-run

A tiny tool to hook up your blink(1) device to commands on your beloved shell.

blink1-run will execute any given command within your current shell and start with a slow strobe light as an load indicator. Upon completion it will flash in green or red depending on the return state of the executed command.

Install

Most OS need you to be root (e.g. using sudo) to install a global npm package:

$ npm -g install blink1-run

blink1-run depends on Node.js and npm. Tested with node v4.2.0 and npm v2.14.7.

Usage

Prepend the blink1-run or b1 alias to your command. Hook up your blink(1) device and run:

$ b1 <your-command> <argument-1> <argument-2> ...

examples:

$ b1 sleep 5
$ b1 echo simple/single commands can be used without quotation marks
$ b1 "sleep 5 && echo very complex c0mmand && sleep 5"
$ b1 "mysql -u mysqluser -p my_database < huge_database_dump.sql"
$ b1 cat flash_red_if_this_file_does_not_exist
