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 🙏

project-checkurl

My first repository on Github for Release 0.1

This is a CLI Tool made in Node.js to take a file name as argument, then scan each valid URL found within the document for their availability.

Features:

  1. Color coded outputs, 🟢green for good links, 🔴red for bad links, 🟡yellow for links with errors and ⚫gray for unknown links.
  2. Supports windows and unix arguments for version display.
  3. Request timeout is set to 5 seconds to prevent program from freezing, other errors are catched and displayed back to the client.
  4. Allows for JSON output format.

Arguments available:

  1. --v (or --version, /v or /version) to view the current tool's version.
  2. --g (or --good) to list all good links.
  3. --b (or --bad) to list all bad links.
  4. --a (or --all) to view all links.
  5. --j (or --json) to convert the output into JSON format.
  6. [filename] (will scan the file of URLs and determine their availability.)
  7. --i (or --ignore) [ignoreFile] ignores all listed URLs from the document.
