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 🙏

Proxies Swarm bzz:/ URLs at bzz-web:/ to cater to web browser specific routing customs and expectations

Readme

bzz-web

Adds bzz-web:/ that proxies bzz:/ URLs, so that you can surf the Dweb on Swarm.

How to use

  1. Run Swarm, which should be listening for HTTP requests on localhost:8500
  2. Run bzz-web, which should listen for HTTP requests on localhost:8511
    npx bzz-swarm
  3. Point your browser to:
    • Instead of: http://localhost:8500/bzz:/somehash/
    • ...this: http://localhost:8511/bzz-web:/somehash/

You can use PORT, BZZ_HOST, and BZZ_PORT to override default values.

Why

The built-in HTTP router that handles bzz:/ URLs in Swarm, does not cater to web-browser specific routing customs & expectations, for example handling trailing /-es and index.html files.

This is a simple server which takes the URLs, and treats them as a "regular" HTTP web server would, traverse the Swarm manifest tries, and proxies the requests to Swarm as bzz-raw:/ file hashes.

Caveat

This is only intended to be a proof-of-concept, and have demo quality.

It might (probably will) not work for your use case.

Patches welcome!
