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 🙏

pingdicate

get visual indication of average latency to host(s) in your menu bar

install

ensure you've got a copy of anybar in your /Applications directory, then...

npm install --global pingdicate

as a postinstall script, pingdicate's plist configuration file will be moved to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and loaded into launchctl. it specifes some default host addresses which you will likely want to override.

to change the host addresses or to specify a path to anybar other than /Applications/AnyBar.app, open ~/Library/LaunchAgents/re.gitigno.pingdicate.plist in a text editor and modify the ip address arguments to the -h option in the ProgramArguments string section of the file.

if your path to anybar differs from the expected default, add -a /path/to/your/anybar in the ProgramArguments string.

to apply your changes, run launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/re.gitigno.pingdicate.plist && launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/re.gitigno.pingdicate.plist to stop, reload and restart the service.

uninstall
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/re.gitigno.pingdicate.plist && \
mv ~/Library/LaunchAgents/re.gitigno.pingdicate.plist ~/.Trash/

to stop, unload and delete the service from launchctl.
