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 🙏

MSSG

Meteor Static Site Generator - Node module to render meteor routes as HTML, using PhantomJS

How it Works

In the config file, you give MSSG a bunch of routes. MSSG iterates over those routes, gets the page with PhantomJS, waits for a little bit so Phantom renders any potential JavaScript, and then saves the HTML to an appropriate file structure.

As of yet, there is nothing that makes it Meteor specific - it would work with any site with routes - so the title is a bit of a misnomer. However, someone took ssg on npm already.

Installation

  • Install phantomjs
  • Install MSSG from npm with npm install mssg
    • To use MSSG through the command line, make sure you install globally with npm install -g mssg
      • Sometimes the global install doesn't work - I've had this problem on OSX. If this is the case, just install mssg locally, and run the commands in the local folder.

Usage

MSSG can be used through the command line, or within node

Command Line

MSSG render configFile.json

With Node


var mssg = require('mssg');
mssg.render('configFile.json');

configFile.json references the location of your configuration file. Check out the one in the repo for an example of what you should include. Make sure you have a config file, or else you'll break the program.
