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 🙏

Roam Private API

This project exposes command line tool (roam-api) and a node library to connect Roam Research to your other software. You can use it in bash scripts, Github actions, or as a dependency of your project.

How does it work?

It looks like Roam is not providing a REST API any time soon. If you want to bridge Roam with your other software, you can do so from within Roam (with JavaScript), but that has limited number of use cases. Without a REST API, this project launches an invisible browser and performs automated actions, just as you would manually. No need to install chrome, this library comes with one. It uses your login and password, so this won't work if you are using Google login. It wraps around import/export functionality and actions exposed via roamAlphaApi.

Command line tool roam-api

This package exposes a roam-api tool in your system. You can use it to automate Roam and bridge other systems with your Roam graph.

Installation:

This entire library is build on node, so you need node v12 and npm v6 in your system. You can install the package the following way:

npm i -g roam-research-private-api

Now you can use a variety of commands. All command take the following arguments, which you can also set as environmental variables:

  • -g, --graph or env variable ROAM_API_GRAPH - this is your graph name
  • -e, --email or env variable ROAM_API_EMAIL - email to log into your Roam
  • -p, --password or env variable ROAM_API_PASSWORD - password to your Roam.

roam-api export will export your Roam graph to a directory of your choice.

This example will export the graph to your desktop. It will appear as "db.json".

roam-api export ~/Desktop

It can also push the new version of the graph to an URL of your choosing. That way, you can upload the graph to some other system or use it with Zapier and similar tools.

roam-api export ~/Desktop http://secret.url?token=secret_token.

roam-api search will search your Roam graph for a phrase:

roam-api search "potatoes"

Result will be JSON array of objects { blockUid, pageTitle, string }

roam-api-query will let you do a full Datalog query.

This will find all block uids in your database which have the content "Import".

roam-api query '[:find ?uid :where [?b :block/string "Import"] [?b :block/uid ?uid]]'

Check out this fantastic article to know more about the Roam data structure.

roam-api create create a block under specified uid. If no uid is provided, it will be inserted into your daily page:

roam-api create "This will be prepended to my daily page"

Library to use in your project.

As mentioned, this is also a library that you can use within your project. Here are examples on how to do so:

Pull requests welcome and I take no responsibility in case this messes up your Roam Graph :).
