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 🙏

Gushio

Like bash scripts, but in JavaScript

npm GitHub Build Gushio codecov

Gushio* is built on top of battle-tested libraries like commander and shelljs and allows you to write a multiplatform shell script in a single JavaScript file without having to worry about package.json and dependencies installation.

* Gushio is pronounced like the italian word "guscio" (IPA: /'guʃʃo/) which means "shell".

You can find some examples of Gushio scripts here. You can even try to run them directly with:

gushio https://github.com/Forge-Srl/gushio/raw/main/examples/<SCRIPT_FILENAME>

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install -g gushio

Documentation

The documentation of Gushio is available here.

FAQ

Why should I use Gushio?

We don't claim that Gushio is the perfect solution for everyone. However, we believe that in some circumstances you should give it a try:

  • if you need your script to run on different platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS);
  • if you want to write automation scripts for a JavaScript/TypeScript project;
  • if you want your script to be more easily maintainable than a Bash/PowerShell script;
  • if you would like to use functionalities from NPM libraries in your script;

How is gushio different from zx?

There are two main differences between zx and gushio:

  1. Both zx and gushio use ESM, but gushio allows the scripts to be written in both ESM and CJS.
  2. zx doesn't provide a way to use NPM libraries in the scripts.

Apart from that, there are some other minor differences in the functionalities provided out of the box. For example, zx uses chalk and globby while gushio uses ansi-colors and glob.

We think they are both fantastic tools, and we encourage folks to use zx instead of gushio if it makes sense for their use-case.
