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 🙏

Readme

npxcard

Create a nice layout for your npx your-name-here card.

Inspired by @bitandbang's package https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitandbang (repo: https://github.com/bnb/bitandbang).

Example

npxcard

Usage

To create your own npx you-name-here command, the easiest thing to do is fork this repo and change it for your own requirements:

  • https://github.com/chilts/chilts

API

We could have lots of functions to add a section, add a key, change something here and there however we're going simple and instead you just pass a data structure with the information you want to show.

const sections = [
  {
    title: 'Andrew Chilton (Personal)',
    details: [
      [ 'Email', '[email protected]' ],
      [ 'Web', 'https://chilts.org' ],
      [ 'Twitter', 'https://twitter.com/andychilton' ],
      [ 'GitHub', 'https://github.com/chilts' ],
      [ 'GitLab', 'https://gitlab.org/chilts' ],
    ],
  },
  {
    title: 'Apps Attic Ltd (My Company)',
    details: [
      [ 'Email', '[email protected]' ],
      [ 'Web', 'https://appsattic.com' ],
      [ 'Twitter', 'https://twitter.com/AppsAttic' ],
      [ 'GitLab', 'https://gitlab.com/appsattic' ],
    ],
  },
  {
    title: 'Node.js / npm',
    details: [
      [ 'Profile', 'https://www.npmjs.com/~chilts' ],
      [ 'Card', '$ npx chilts' ],
    ],
  },
]

We may add section types in the future, but for now there is only one default section type.

Finally, once you do this, your npx command can just look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env node

const data = {
  // ... your info here ...
}

console.log(npxcard(data))

We may add options in the future. Feel free to do pull requests but make sure it's something everyone can use.
