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 🙏

what

this is an example coinstac decentralized computation. this package also bundles the coinstac-simulator, allowing users to run, fiddle, & play with the system for learning purposes.

this example does not perform a meaningful analysis. instead, it emulates the coinstac system behavior and network utilities whilst running a simple algorithm.

this particular algorithm performs the following:

  • a series of users guess a random integers between 0 and 100
  • after the first user makes his/her guess, the coinstac central computation server selects a random number from the same range
  • on every response from the server, each client selects a value exactly halfway between his/her last guess and the value the central server selected
  • once a user's value is within 10% of the server's selected value, the server considers that user to be "converged."
    • interestingly, each user will continue to get closer and closer to the server's value (asymptotically) while his/her peers still progress to conversion.

why

it's a good starting point for new coinstac developers to see how coinstac operates.

when

now.
