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 🙏

Quick And Dirty

A quick development server with live-reload and regeneration. Ideal for html-in-js

icon

This is a simple development server that can be used to have a live-preview of your site that regenerates automatically as you work.

Usage

  1. Download this package
  2. Set up your configuration by creating a config.json
  3. Start the server: npm start

Now the server will detect changes as you save, regenerate the site if needed, and automatically cause the browser to refresh the page.

Features

You can use Quick-And-Dirty:

  1. As a simple HTTP server (set livereload to false)
    • In this mode, it will act as a simple web server
  2. As a live-reloading server (set regenerate to false or just delete it from the config)
    • In this mode, the server will monitor the site for changes and inject a script into every HTML page that causes it to refresh correctly when pages change.
  3. As a regenerating and live-reloading sever
    • In this mode, the server will also watch the regenerate paths and call the regenerate script when it detects any changes
