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 🙏

What is it?

React Server is an Express middleware for serving universal (isomorphic) JavaScript applications built with React.

Read more on our dev blog.

Getting started

The easiest way to get started is with our yeoman generator:

# install yeoman
npm install -g yo

# install the react-server generator
npm install -g generator-react-server

# make a new react-server project in the CURRENT directory
yo react-server

# compile and run the new app
npm run compile
npm run start
# go to http://localhost:3000

That hooks you up with react-server-cli, which will take care of the server part and get you up and running right away.

Why react-server?

One of the great things about React is its support for server-side rendering, which can make sites show up faster for users and play better with search engine bots.

However, when you actually try to use React for server-side rendering, you quickly run into a bunch of practical problems, such as:

  • How should I load data on the server for my components?
  • How do I ensure that the client and the server load the same data and generate the same HTML markup?
  • How do I write code that can be both generated server-side and be part of a single-page application (SPA)?
  • How should I optimize the delivery of my JavaScript and CSS?
  • How do I find out about and follow performance best practices?
  • How do I ensure that my site is streamed to the browser as quickly as humanly possible?
  • How can I make my app resilient when my backend has high latency spikes?

react-server is a framework designed to make universal (née isomorphic) React easier to write, providing standard answers for these questions and more. When you write your app for react-server, you concentrate on your React components, and react-server takes care of everything else that's needed to run and deploy real React server-rendered apps. Under the hood, react-server is doing a bunch of clever optimizations, many borrowed from the ideas behind Facebook's Big Pipe, to make sure that your site shows up as quickly as humanly possible for your users.
