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 🙏

HexHoot

This is an attempt to create an Opensource Peer-to-peer communication platform with Zero-Knowledge-Proof based authentication. The objective is to democratize communication by eliminating any form of central servers.

Currently, HexHoot's standalone desktop installers are available for Linux (Debian and RPM), macOS and Windows; users can chat with each other over the internet and the intranet. Download it from our release page, linked below.

Why HexHoot?

The following question is something that people would ask me quite often when I talk to them about HexHoot. If you look around, you can see quite a lot of software, like WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc., that helps in communication. Why would one attempt to create yet another tool that solves the same problem?

The thing is, we are not exactly trying to compete with the existing communication platforms head-on; rather, we are setting up a framework that would enable the concept of user authentication in applications that can run without any centralized servers.

Much of the traditional softwares that enabled Peer-to-Peer communication relied on a centralized server to authenticate users, not because they wanted to do this, but because that was probably the only way at the time. We, on the other hand, have accomplished to solve this using Zero-knowledge-proof strategies.

Internet is supposed to be free; free as in "libre" and not "gratis". There is a tendancy in the world that certain closed source algorithms are actively deciding what content the people must be exposed to. You can't view their source code, while they read each and everything about you.

We would like to reverse that. HexHoot is an Open Source project that is aimed at creating a platform for communication between people, while all data is stored locally on the users' computers.
