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 🙏

DSIG

Digital Signature with OpenPGP in JavaScript

About

DSIG (Digital Signature) is a JavaScript Application Programming Interface (API) and Command-Line Interface (CLI) for generating an OpenPGP public/private key pair, calculating the fingerprint of the public/private key, signing a payload with the private key and verifying the payload afterwards with the public key and the fingerprint. It is especially intended to sign application license files and application distribution archive files.

The crux of DSIG is:

  1. It is based on OpenPGP.js, and as a consequence, it is a plain JavaScript solution which does not require an installed GnuPG and its native gpg command and works in both Node.js and the Browser.

  2. The private key, public key, fingerprint and signature use a fully valid OpenPGP format and hence they could even be used with GnuPG, although the DSIG signature is a clear-signed OpenPGP message carrying both the SHA-512 digest of the payload and optional meta information.

Installation

$ npm install [-g] dsig

Example

See the Example section of the Unix manual page for an example how to prepare public/private key pair and fingerprint, and then sign and verify an application distribution archive or an application runtime license. A corresponding standalone Bourne shell script and equivalent Web page can be used for test-driving DSIG, too.
