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 🙏

Text-to-speech for Node-Red via Voice RSS

Ths node uses the Voice RSS API to convert text to speech audio files for later playback by another node.

#Usage

  • Register for a free API key with Voice RSS. Note that their security isn't the best as they'll send your password back to you in an email during registration, so don't reuse your password!. Enter your API key into the configuration of the node.
  • Install mpg321 or other appropiate media player.
  • Connect as in the example flow below.

Example

[{"id":"191338af.f76157","type":"VoiceRSStts","z":"c0bde859.4f3538","name":"","apiKey":"","language":"en-gb","rate":"0","codec":"MP3","format":"48khz_16bit_stereo","cacheLocation":"/home/pi/tts-cache","x":470,"y":440,"wires":[["eb582a17.b7b478"]]}]

When a message is received, it takes the payload, as text, and queries the API based on the configuration. If sucessful, it writes a file with the audio data to the specified cache folder, and outputs the path to the file on its output.

If the same text and configuration is requested again, the node will instead output the path to the already existing file. This will keep the number of API uses down (only 350 uses/month on the free account) and also remove the need for an active network connection once the file has been retrieved.
