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 🙏

CLI for live-streaming your local dev environment

node https://join.slack.com/t/scrimba/shared_invite/enQtNDE4MzY0NDY3NzkyLWFhMzg1YzQ4ZWIwOGMyYzhiZTYxMmEyZTAzMTE5ZTBmMzE4ZDA5ZjM1N2ZjMDZjMmE5M2M4ZDNkN2JjNGM2YzQ

Scrimba is a screen sharing tool for developer teams. It's command line-based and allows you to do the following:

  • Live stream your local dev environment to a URL
  • Collaborate in real-time and discuss via voice chat
  • Keep a recording of the session afterwards

The most popular use-cases are code review, onbarding, and documentation.

Quick-start

# install the CLI
$ npm -g install scrimba

# navigate to your project
$ cd my-awesome-project

# start a live stream
$ scrimba start

This will open my-awesome-project as a scrim in Chrome, which will look something like this:

Now you'll be able to interact with your local workspace via this scrim. This means that you can edit and save files, and run commands in the terminal. To start collaborating, simply share the URL with a colleague and she'll be able to jump into your local workspace instantly.

All features

  • Codebase, terminal and browser sharing
  • Real-time collaboration
  • Mouse pointer for each participant
  • Voice chat
  • Conferences (up to 4 people)
  • Record sessions
  • Dashboard for recorded sessions

Feedback

This is an experimental feature, and you're likely to encounter bugs. Please report any bugs, quirks, or invconveniences to us via our Slack group, as it'll help us improve the experience. We'd also love to hear any suggestions you might have. You can also follow us reach out at Twitter.

Limitations

It currently only works to stream via Google Chrome
