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 🙏

#dogfood a scaffolder that feeds the dog(stack)

PRIOR ART

PURPOSE

  • cli tool for scaffolding out a dogstack app
  • cli tool for generating new 'concepts' for a dogstack app (concept == folder structure for each 'piece' of the app)

for now, pretty much a rip of initialize-project but to use dogstack, i'll play around with it over time

NOTES

  • to clarify: a 'concept' is a opinionated folder structure for collecting related files together
    • but not in a rails way (where all controllers are grouped, all models are grouped etc): instead, all the files related to expressing a concept within your app are gathered under a named folder
    • i.e. a 'profiles' concept, which houses the UI (containers / components), the reducer, the actions etc that are needed to implement profiles
    • (nb. this doesn't mean that some concepts don't rely on files from other concepts)
  • at the moment, doesn't wire up any of the concepts to the top-level app
  • includes the core libs that dogstack itself uses, as part of the package.json (unsure if that's good... could expose them instead through dogstack)
  • doesn't wire up any HTML for a new app: this is deliberate for now, as i expect i'll create a module dogfood that will do server spinning up (and will make static HTML generation unnecessary)
    • for now just create an index.html at the top-level with a main element and a script tag with src="bundle.js"
  • doesn't do any git user stuff that initialize-project does, as of yet

API

install globally to use: npm install -g dogfood

  • generate a new dogstack app: dogfood -a -n NAME -d DIRECTORY
  • generate a new dogstack concept: dogfood -n NAME -d DIRECTORY

IDEAS

  • in the future, this will probably need to be able to spin up dogstack and doghouse apps (client and server)
  • fork of copy-template-dir so that it can generate filenames named after the name arg?
  • what about easy deployment handling? is that a different module? (dogrocket? dogwheels?)
