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-minecraft-ping

Node-RED nodes to ping a Minecraft server to see if my daughter is still logged-in.

These simple nodes use the Minecraft ping protocol to get a list of sample players logged-in to a server, and the number of players. As I understand it, this is not guaranteed to contain all (if any) players, but I think this simple "ping" API can be achieved without a full server login, and for a small private server will probably deliver the required information... it certainly does what I need it to do.

These nodes is simple, but could be forked and extended to provide a much larger interface to Minecraft. See node-minecraft-protocol for the more-extensive JavaScript API.

Flow Example

As ever, improvements welcome. I do suggest, however, that if you want to increase the functionality significantly, you fork this project as node-red-contrib-minecraft-query or another name, and keep this node simple to use.

Note on styling

I've deviated from the recommended white/transparent icon for the node; I'm usually a stickler for standards, but the iconic Creeper face is just too irresistable to ignore. There are a few alternative icons that can be overridden in the "Appearance" panel for the node; just search for minecraft.
