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 🙏

NPM Script Selector

The NPM Script Selector is a CLI tool for discovering and running project scripts within package.json files. Have you ever worked on a project that contains so many scripts that you can't always remember the available options? That's what happened to me. I currently contribute to a project with 30+ scripts. I became tired of having to open the package file and/or IDE in order to find and run the needed scripts, so I created this small CLI.

Currently, you provide the path to the package.json file, the NPM Script Selector will then list the available scripts for you, where you can interactively select the one you want. It will then run the script for you within the selected project's directory. I plan to add more functionality in the near future.

Uses figlet, commander, and inquirer.
