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 🙏

About

remoted lets you start hosts and guests.

Hosts are machine that can be remotely controlled.

Guests are machines that will send commands to hosts.

When a guest connects to a host a command line interface will be provided.

These machines can found each other by sending UDP messages with some help from udp-node.

You can run normal shell commands on the host and get their output.

You can open applications and documents.

And there are some built-in commands for you to enjoy, allowing you to send OS notifications and play audio.

Usage

Start a host on one machine with:

remoted --host [hostname]

Start a guest on a another machine instructing it to connect to your host:

remoted [hostname]

NOTE:

Hosts and guests will discover each other no matter which one is started first ;)

Built-In Commands

On a host connected to a guest you can use any of the following commands:

OS Commands

These are some of the most commonly used OS commands:

  • open [url]: Opens passed URL in the default browser.
  • open [path/file]: Opens file with default application for its type.
  • cat [path/file]: Outputs raw content of the file.
  • ls: List files on the directory where guest was started.

You can remotely run any command that the OS supports.
