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 🙏

Readme

Initior

Initior is a command line application that let's you initialize your new projects the right way. Npm and Yarn's init only creates a package.json file and you will have to edit the package.json file manually if you want more properties in there. Initior will ask you more questions to hopefully prevent that and also will suggest some of the most popular npm packages to install for your project. Got more packages to install? Two more questions will let you input all your extra dependencies and they will be installed. Initior will also set up Eslint, Babel, Webpack, Mocha and Gulp for you, some won't be fully set up but Initior will at least create the initial files and install the plugins you chose. Initior can also write a .gitignore to make your project git ready from the start. Initior can also create a LICENSE.md file by checking the license type in the package.json file and if it matches any of the 11 supported licenses, it will create one for you!

Features

  • Powerful: Initior is made to be powerful, it is made to let you have the most time actually coding the project and not setting it up and worrying about making everything work making it super efficient to use in your projects.
  • Intuitive: Initior is simple to use and very user friendly, simply writing a short command in the terminal opens up all of Initior's powerful features in your hands. No learning what so ever is needed to get started too!
  • Fast: Initior is super fast in execution and the time it takes to actually finish the whole process. The moment you agree on writing a file, it gets written immediately without any issues and let's you move on to the next question.

Installation

Installing Initior is pretty simple, you only have two ways of installing it and they are both pretty similar.

NPM: npm install --global initior

YARN: yarn global add initior

PNPM: pnpm install --global initior

After running any of these commands, run init --version to make sure you have Initior installed

Usage

To get started using Initior, you change your terminal's directory to your project's folder and then run the "init" command. Try to answer all questions and choose the dependencies and voila you're done, if you have ever used yarn or npm's init command, this should be familiar.

Initior is so simple to use, it has only two options to use. The first option is the --yarn or -y option which let's you install all the dependencies using yarn. The second option is the --pnpm or -p option which let's you install all the dependencies using pnpm!
