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.

Hostsman

A simple node tool to provide easy management of host overrides.

Introduction

In my current role I work on a MacBook Pro and frequently need to locally host websites in a virtual machine running Windows. In order to minimise the number of applications running in the virtual machine I use an OS X web browser to access the websites hosted by the virtual machine.

This means I end up adding host overrides to the hosts file very frequently. Even more so If I work from a location other than the office and my virtual machine is assigned a dynamic IP.

Aims

The aim of this project is to produce a tool which provides a quick and easy command line interface to manipulate the hosts file on OS X.

You should be able to specify an IP for a development machine and add domains which should point to that IP. If I update the IP for the development machine, all the domains should update too.

I'm sure additional features will appear as the project progresses.

Installation

Install from npm.

npm install -g hostsman

Usage

Currently must be used with sudo to allow appropriate write access.

hostsman --help
