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

qrip

A very simple cross-platform command line utility to help make trying out locally hosted (web) applications on mobile phones easier.

forthebadge


Use case

Ever developed a mobile-friendly/mobile-first website in the browser and wanted to check out how it looks in an actual mobile phone? Sure, you could host it in the cloud, but that is significant overhead. Sure, you could run ipconfig to find out your network IP, only to type it into the phone manually.

As most modern phones are perfectly capable of scanning QR codes and opening links encoded in QR, why not make life a bit easier for yourself?

Installation

  • clone this repository
  • npm install && npm link
  • And...Well, that's pretty much it, granted you have a modern version of Node and NPM installed.

Usage

qrip 4000 to create a QR code with your local ip with :4000 appended to it.

qrip 4000 /cats/666 to create a qr code similar to the above, except with an excplicitly set path.

qrip 4000 /cats/666 --ngrok to also create an ngrok tunnel and generate a QR code for its public URL.

qrip --help for... Help.
