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

instagram-poster

CLI to post images to Instagram using Puppeteer.
The goal of this project is to make it easy to programatically post an image to Instagram with a caption.

Example

instagram-poster -username [email protected] -password mysecurepassword -image /Users/me/Desktop/mypic.jpg -caption "Check out my picture"

Usage

instagram-poster --username <username> --password <password> --image <image_path> [-caption <caption>] [-executablePath <chrome_path>] [-agent <user_agent>] [-debug]

or, if installed locally:

node index.js --username <username> --password <password> --image <image_path> [-caption <caption>] [-executablePath <chrome_path>] [-agent <user_agent>] [-debug]

Setup

With npm

npm install -g instagram-poster

From Git

  1. Make sure you have node and npm installed
  2. Clone this repository
  3. cd to this repository
  4. If you already have Chrome/Chromium installed, and you want to use that version, run export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true
  5. run npm install
  6. You should be able to run the program now
  7. If you opted to use your previously installed version of Chrome in step 4, make sure you specify your path to Chrome when you run the program

Notes

  • The image path will be relative to the directory you are in when you run the program.
  • The only way to upload an image to instagram outside of their app is on their mobile site. This program simulates the mobile experience on your computer.
  • If you are running on a Raspberry Pi, you should also use a custom executable path to point to Chromium Browser, since the Chromium that comes with Puppeteer does not work on Raspbian.
