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 🙏

Netlify Plugin - Add Instagram

This plugin adds the ability to source fetch and cache recent Instagram images so that they can be served as part of the site from the same domain, rather than serving directly from Facebook's Instagram CDN.

Some browser settings and extensions throttle or block serving assets from Facebook's CDN for privacy reasons. Serving these assets directly from the same CDN and domain as the rest of the site should give a small performance benefit too.

Overview

This plugin requests data from Instagram feed that you associated with an Instagram Key that you will need to provide as an environment variable. It will save this data as JSON in the Netlify build cache and only re-request the feed after a specified time-to-live value has elapsed. It will also save all the image assets in the Netlify Build cache between builds and place them in the specified location for your static site generator to use.

Configure this plugin to present the gathered data and images in the appropriate location, so your chosen static site generator can leverage it during the build.

Demonstration

See this plugin being used in this simplified demo site: https://demo-netlify-plugin-add-instagram.netlify.app/

Installation

To include this plugin in your site deployment:

1. Add the plugin as a dependency


# Add the plugin as a dependency of your build
npm i --s netlify-plugin-add-instagram

2. Add the plugin and its options to your netlify.toml

This plugin will fetch the specified instagram feed and the latest 12 images and stash them prior to the execution of the build command you have specified in your Netlify configuration. The desired Instagram username and various caching attributes can be specified in the netlify.toml config file as shown below.

# Config for the Netlify Build Plugin: netlify-plugin-add-instagram
[[plugins]]
  package = "netlify-plugin-add-instagram"

  [plugins.inputs]

    # Where to put the image files
    imageFolder = "src/images/instagram"

    # Also stash data about the images in a json file
    dataFile = "src/_data/instagram.json"

    # How many seconds should we cache the instagram feed for?
    feedTTL = 30

    # How many seconds should we cache each instagram image for?
    imageTTL = 1209600   # 2 weeks

    # Which of Instagram's image sizes should we fetch?
    # t (thumbnail)
    # m (medium)
    # l (large)
    imageSize = "m"

    # Instagram username
    username = "philhawksworth"
