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 🙏

Readme

♊ gem-server: a simple static gemini server

gem-server is a simple-zero configuration command-line static gemini server. It is in very early stages of development, but it should be ready for basic static gemini sites.

It was heavily inspired by http-server.

Installation

Running on-demand

Using npx you can run the script without installing it first:

npx gem-server {path} [options]

(Unlike http-server, providing a path is mandatory. If you wish to serve the current directory, simply provide .)

Globally via npm

npm install --global gem-server

OpenSSL keys

A key.pem and cert.pem file need to be generated to use Gemini. To generate these on your own, run the following command (works best in Linux, or in WSL on Windows):

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes -subj '/CN=localhost'

Usage

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes -subj '/CN=localhost'
gem-server {path} [options]

{path} needs to be passed, common options are ./public and .

Now you can visit gemini://localhost on your local Gemini browser! 🚀

Available options:

  • -p to choose a different port
  • -c to specify a different cert file
  • -k to specify a different key file
  • -h for help
  • -v for the version number

Magic Files

  • index.gmi or index.gemini will be served as the default file to any directory requests.
    (Directory lists do not generate at this time.)
