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 🙏

GHFollow

For those who are obsessed with their GitHub followers.

How to use

First, install the package

npm i ghfollow

Then, make an environment variable named GH_FOLLOW and set it's value to your GitHub personal access token. (Make sure you check user:follow when generating your token)

One way of making an environment variable is to add it to a file named .env in your project's working directory. Your .env file should look something like this:

ENVIRONMENT_VARIALE_1=SOME_VALUE
ENVIRONMENT_VARIALE_2=SOME_OTHER_VALUE
GH_FOLLOW=<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>

where <YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN> is your actual GitHub token.

Now, import the GHFollow class using:

import { GHFollow } from "ghfollow";

or (For CommonJS)

const { GHFollow } = require("ghfollow");

Then, create an instance of GHFollow, and pass it your GitHub username

const ghf = new GHFollow("youssef-attai");

Before you start using the methods, you should call the init() method, it loads the followers and following data to be used by other methods.

await ghf.init();

Now, here is a list of what you can do

  • Get the usernames of your followers
await ghf.getAllFollowers();
  • Get the usernames of those who you follow
await ghf.getAllFollowing();
  • Follow a user
await ghf.follow(username);
  • Unfollow a user
await ghf.unfollow(username);
  • Check if you follow a user
await ghf.doIFollowThem(username);
  • Check if a user follows you
await ghf.doTheyFollowMe(username);
  • Unfollow those who are not following you
await ghf.unfollowNonFollowers();
  • Follow all your followers
await ghf.followFollowers();
  • Follow only those who follow you
await ghf.update();
