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 JS Shell

REPL Interface with npm bin configuration. Install via npm i -g node.sh and enjoy.

Commands and Keys

.break - When in the process of inputting a multi-line expression, entering the .break command (or pressing the -C key combination) will abort further input or processing of that expression.

.clear - Resets the REPL context to an empty object and clears any multi-line expression currently being input.

.exit - Close the I/O stream, causing the REPL to exit.

.help - Show this list of special commands.

.save - Save the current REPL session to a file: > .save ./file/to/save.js

.load - Load a file into the current REPL session. > .load ./file/to/load.js

.editor - Enter editor mode (-D to finish, -C to cancel)

-C - When pressed once, has the same effect as the .break command. When pressed twice on a blank line, has the same effect as the .exit command.

-D - Has the same effect as the .exit command.

- When pressed on a blank line, displays global and local(scope) variables. When pressed while entering other input, displays relevant autocompletion options.

Example

npm i -g node.sh
node.sh
...

// enter a location
cd('root');

// create file from internet
mk('http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/mkfifo.3.html');

// list files
ls();

// open file from internet
cat('mkfifo.3.html');

One line example:

cd('root'); mk('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fantasyui-com/poems/master/samples/kosmos.yaml'); ls(); cat('kosmos.yaml');
