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.

frictionless

This tool helps you check your open source projects to reduce contributor friction, sometimes referred to as the time to first commit (TTFC).

Keeping the time that possible contributors have to spent before they can commit to your project to a minimum may increase the number of contributions. See Ben Balter's article for more information.

frictionless has been inspired by Flint and Friction written in Go and Ruby respectively. The goal of this project is to provide a tool that is easier to install (in particular for people who don't have Ruby installed) and to support multiple programming languages.

Install

Installing frictionless is as easy as this:

npm install -g frictionless

Of course, you need to have Node.js installed.

Usage

Change to the directory of the project you want to check and enter

frictionless

The tool's output may look like this:

Console output with errors

If your project meets all requirements the output will look as follows:

Console output without errors

If you want to check a specific directory enter

frictionless directory/to/check

To get help just enter

frictionless --help
