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 🙏

very simple synchronizing document-style database

Readme

Simple distributed/synchronized database for use in webapps. Client apps instantiate a DB() which connects to the server and gives them a read/write view of a shared set of "pages" (aka "documents" or "objects" or "records"). Changes propogate quickly and persist.

Changes are tagged with who did them, currenly using webgram SessionID. We may want to use real user identity instead, but maybe not, since we might want to distinguish between a change I made on my tablet vs laptop vs incognito mode somewhere. With SessionIDs we need to do another level of mapping though, which could get annoying.

API style is inspired by crosscloud.js

Basic Operation

  • Set up your objects the way you want, linked to each other, or whatever, and the ones you want exposed to the outside world, you call db.add() on them.

  • After you've added them, if you want to change one of them, you can either ask the system to make the change, using db.overlay, or you can make the change yourself and call db.flush. Someday we might use Proxy to auto-flush, but then we'd have to create all the page objects for you. That would make nested objects/graphs more of a pain.
