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 🙏

TheFlyingCoder's Git npx

Initialising your accelerators with a single npx command!

If you are like me, you've got an accelerator you use ALL the time, maybe even multiple!

Whenever I wanted to share my accelerators, or re-use my own, it'd require cloning the repo from github, and that's about 6 clicks too many for my liking so instead I made this.

To try it out just use the npx installer:

npx git-npx <project-name>

What are the steps??

  1. Create your accelerator
  2. Put it on a public github repo
  3. Create the NPM installer package with npx git-npx <project-name>
  4. Go into the package.json and update all the details, most importantly:
    • name: This will be your npm installer package name
    • bin/git-npx: Rename the key "git-npx" to match your package name
    • repository/url: This is what the code references to find your accelerator (Must be a .git url)
  5. npm login
  6. npm publish
  7. You are done!!

Try out installation of your new accelerator with npx <package-name> TestProject

Optional steps:

  1. Add a custom brand message in scripts/brandMessage.js so your installs have a personal touch
  2. Add specific next steps in scripts/nextStepsMessage.js if it's not generic
  3. CHANGE THE WHOLE THING HOWEVER YOU LIKE! :D Go into git-npx.js and play around
