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 🙏

Please note that this tool does not discover Chromecast devices on your network for performance reasons. You have to specify an IP address via the --host option. Consider configuring your DHCP server to assign a fixed IP address to your Chromecast devices.

Examples

The IP address 192.168.1.100 is just an example. Use the IP address of your Chromecast device instead.

Display the device status as JSON

chromecast --host 192.168.1.100 status

Play a song from a DLNA/UPnP source at IP address 192.168.1.1 (e. g. a router or a NAS)

chromecast --host 192.168.1.100 play http://192.168.1.1/media/song.mp3

Play a Youtube video (courtesy of youtube-dl package)
