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 🙏

More Weight!

Linux and OS X Only

A classy NPM package that tells you how much of your hard drive is being taken up by node_modules directories.

This is some high end bespoke stuff built at the request of @mrspeaker who quipped:

What % of your hard drive lives in node_modules

Thanks to this repo, finding out is as easy as:

npm install -g giles-corey
giles-corey

Output is the total space taken up by all node_modules folders residing within your home directory. Calculating the percentage is left as an exercise for the user.

Only 100G of node_modules? More weight!

If you don't want to install this module and would instead prefer to run a one line shell command here's the secret sauce:

find ~/ -name node_modules -type d | xargs du -ch

Giles Corey was an 81 year old man who was crushed to death with stones in Salem Massachusetts after he was suspected of being a witch. He was memorialized in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible".
