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 🙏

FlatSurface

Build quality API faster

Have you written several APIs for web apps in the past? Then, just like us, you must have realised that you've been duplicating a lot of code.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to share API resources (like user creation/login/sign up/etc) between projects?

But every project is different! So for this to work, we would also need to be able to extend these API resources...

And while on the subject, writing input parameter validation code is so tedious, wouldn't it be such a relief to get it automatically generated so that we can safely trust user inputs?

Last but not least, keeping an API documentation up-to-date is very painful. Couldn't we just keep it up-to-date by automatically regenerating it?

Our lives would be much easier on the server-side if we could get a solution for all these points.

This is the reason why we built FlatSurface: our attempt to help others build a quality API faster.

FlatSurface is based on NodeJS (restify) and MongoDB (mongoose).
