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 🙏

node-red-contrib-eddystone

sample

Create an Eddystone Beacon using Node-RED. Eddystone-URL beacons can be used with the Physical Web. Add this node to your Node-RED environment for easy prototyping for the Physical Web.

Installation

First install Node RED, if not done yet, and add node-red-contrib-eddystone:

npm install node-red -g
npm install node-red-contrib-eddystone -g

Prerequisites

node-red-contrib-eddystone is based on the awesome node-eddystone-beacon. However, node-eddystone-beacon has the same prerequesits you might want to check. For instance, you might need to run Node-RED with root permissions for accessing the Bluetooth interface depending on your setup.

We recommend to use a Raspberry Pi with a Bluetooth 4.0 compatible USB dongle.

Example

This flow allows to control a Eddystone URL beacon for setting the URL, starting and stopping broadcasting, setting temperature, and setting power. All parameters can be set by sending messages to the EddystoneURL node.

sample

The official Android App for The Physical Web might me a nice addition for testing and playing around:
