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 🙏

Security

Both the server component and the web interface should be secured from unauthorised access. Exactly what measures you take to achieve that is left as an exercise for the reader.

Installation

API Server

You will need to have node.js and the Apache htcacheclean utility installed and, of course, an Apache server and a mod_cache_disk cache.

  1. Clone the git repository at [email protected]:stainsby/htcachemon.git.
  2. cd into your cloned repository and run npm install to install the NPM packages that the server component depends on.
  3. Edit <repo>/config.js to suit your system. Common items to change will be cacheDir, uid and http.port.
  4. Run the server with the user corresponding to uid in the config.js file. The serve.sh script provides an example of this.

Web interface

The web interface is just a set of static files to create an AngularJS single page application. All dependencies are provided (or come from CDNs).

  1. Adjust <repo>/ui/config.js to suit your system. You will likely need to change the API endpoint.
  2. Configure your web server to serve the files in <repo>/ui.

If you are only testing, you can use the devserve.sh script to serve the web interface. You will need to have http-server installed - for example, via npm -g install http-server.
