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 🙏

FAQ

I set this as my DNS Server, why doesn't it work?

DGS is not a DNS server in the classic sense, we just use the same delivery mechanism, since it is meant to be used in tandem with a standard DNS client. DGS allows clients to verify that an IP they have received for a service is actually correct, by providing the netblock spaces that are owned by domains. See: What is this for?

Why do I need to use TCP?

DGS will make several queries on your behalf to determine correct IPs for the services you query. As such, TCP is used to discourage apmplification attacks being used against the service.

What is this for?

When trying to figure out if the IP address you have been given for a service is correct, there hasn't been a great baseline or golden standard that can be used for that comparison. This attempts to rectify that situation by providing the known scopes that services use for their resolutions.
