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 🙏

Command line interface that helps with the deployment of plugins on WordPress.org

How it works

DistributeWP deploys files and folders on your computer to the WordPress.org plugin's SVN repository. With this tool you can release new versions of plugins, update only the assets folder or update only the readme.txt file.

DistributeWP requires .json file in your plugin's folder which contains all the settings required for deployment. This file can be created by running command distribute-wp init once you've answered a few questions, the configuration file will be automatically created for you.

The CLI will ask you the following questions:

  • What's the slug of your plugin?
  • What's the folder you wish to deploy?
  • Do you wish to deploy plugin's assets too?
  • What's the folder where assets are stored?

Deployment of new releases works by uploading the content of the folder you've specified when answering the 2nd configuration question.

Requirements

  • SVN on your computer.
  • Preapproved plugin on wordpress.org
  • Node.js
