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 🙏

Discovery Cloud

This was made as a (mostly) drop-in replacement for hyperswarm.

https://github.com/hyperswarm/hyperswarm

We were developing on a platform (Chrome App) that had some serious network bugs and platform limitations, and built this as a replacement. This is the server portion of the project that will allow peers to find each other via discovery keys and get piped websockets to each other.

This app is intended to be deployable to heroku out of the box and require no configuration. By its design it should only ever run with a single dyno as there's no backplane for processes to communicate with each other.

Setup

The code should work as a heroku app out of the box with no extra setup.

  $ heroku create
  Creating app... done, ⬢ fish-monger-9999
  https://fish-monger-9999.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/fish-monger-9999.git
  $ git push heroku master
