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.

Deref CLI

deref-cli is a command line interface to the https://deref.link/ URL tracing service (available on github).

By passing a URL to deref-cli, you can get a preview of all the HTTP redirects the browser will jump through to reach its final destination. This is especially useful when investigating untrusted links from URL shortening services.

As deref.link was started as a way for me to learn AngularJS, it seems only fitting that deref-cli serve as a way to learn NodeJS and explore the available resources for building command-line applications in Node.

One cavaet of this inspired-by-learning origin is that deref-cli is using a remote API for the logic, when it would be simpler and faster to just use local logic. It's a bit of an odd direction, and I might improve it in the future.
