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 🙏

playit

Use the Play/Pause key on your keyboard to control audio players on websites. (Currently only working for Songza and Pandora.)

Installation

$ npm install -g playit

Run Server

Playit works via a WebSocket connection from the audio website and a server running on your machine. To start the server run:

$ playit start

This will start a WebSocket server and an HTTP server on ports 3000 and 8080, respectively. You can change the ports via -p and --httpPort:

$ playit start -p 3001 --httpPort=8888

Run Client

After starting the server, client code will be copied to your clipboard. Open devtools, paste, and hit enter. Now your Play/Pause key should control the Play/Pause button(s) on the website. If you accidentally copy over the contents in your clipboard, you can run $ playit client in another terminal window. NOTE: You MUST run $ playit start to generate the client code for the first time, or $ playit client won't work!

Remote Control

After starting the server, open http://<your host>:8080 in a browser. The Play/Pause button on the webpage should remotely control playback as well. This is ideal if you want to control your music from a mobile device.
