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 🙏

Install

The latest version of explore.dev extension is auto publish to the Google Chrome Webstore on every push into master.

Getting started

  1. Run yarn to install all dependencies we need to run and build the extension.
  2. Run yarn start:ext which will run webpack in watch mode. We're using webpack-extension-reloader to automatically reload the extension whenever a change is made.
  3. Almost there, go to chrome://extensions/ and enable Developer mode in the top right corner.
  4. A few new buttons will appear, click Load unpacked and navigate to checkout of this repo. Select the dist-ext folder and confirm the dialog.
  5. That's it!

Development

Everything begins with the src/ext/contentScript.js, so this is the best place to dig into the code. A few comments here and there should be useful as well.
