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 🙏

O'BOOKS :books::sparkles:

CLI to download and generate books from O'Reilly | Safaribooks.

This package is exclusively intended for personal use. Its purpose is to complement your O'Reilly membership facilitating content in the format of .epub to read on your e-reader.

USAGE

You need to hold an active account in O'Reilly | Safaribooks to be able to download books.

$ ./cli.js -b "<BOOKID>" -c "<OREILLY_COOKIE>"

The downloaded books will be stored in a folder called obooks in your home directory (~/obooks).

After the first successful login/book download through obooks, a session.json file containing auth cookies will be written in the root of the project. Any future downloads will not require passing the cookies to the command.

$ ./cli.js -b "<BOOKID>"

HOW TO

The first time you're using obooks, you'll need to pass your logged in cookies in the command. Check the chrome developer tools while logged in to O'Reilly, you'll see a 'cookie' header sent in the 'Request Headers', this is the long string you should pass in in the obooks cookie flag -c "<cookie>:

$ ./cli.js -b "9781788623872" -c "LONG STRING OF COOKIES HERE"

CLI flags explained

  • -b <bookid>: This is the book identification in O'Reilly. You can find it in the url of the book you'd like to download. For this example, the book id would be: 9781260440249.

  • -c <cookie>: O'Reilly session cookie.
