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 🙏

Citizen Media Notary

diagram

Working on this. Don't use in production yet.

Description

A system which enables 3rd party data observers who maintain a record of the authenticity of citizen media as it is recorded.

Check the slideshow: http://openwatch.net/static/evidence.key.pdf

Goals:

  • Secure-by-default.
  • Publically queriable (but perhaps not publicaly browsable.)
  • Easy to deploy.
  • Come up with a spec
  • Federated servers? PubSub, maybe?

TODO:

  • Review schema
  • Crypto (Verification of signatures)
  • Duplication
  • Frontend

Language Choice

I think I'm going to do this one in Node because Django doesn't play super nicely with non relational databases.

The drawback is that Node is kind of a pain in the ass to deploy, especially with SSL.

Database

For now, it's gonna use CouchDB. Opinions welcome.

Install

Make sure you have latest node, npm and CouchDB installed.

npm install

Set up cryptographic keys

  • See ./crypto/CRYPTO.md for instructions.

Run Server

node server.js

Run with Supervisor

If you're developing, it's easier to use Supervisior, which will automatically reload the app when it detects changes. Supervisor requires that it be installed globally.

npm install -g supervisor

supervisor server.js

More details soon..
