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 🙏

seedsplit

Seedsplit lets you split a mnemonic seed into a selected number of shards which are also encoded as mnemonics. n-of-m shards can then be combined in order to get the initial mnemonic seed. This is accomplished by using Shamirs Secret Sharing. Seedsplit supports 12 and 24 word seeds.

Why?

If you use a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger you get a mnemonic seed that can be used to recover your device in case of loss or breakage. After you have written this seed down you obviously need to keep it very safe, but how? Some people put it in a safety deposit box in their bank. However, this gives you a trust issue again, which is what you where trying to avoid. With seedsplit you can split your seed into multiple mnemonics that you can hand out to your friends and family. They can only recreate your seed if some of them come together to do so.

Safe usage

For maximal safety you should only run this program on a computer that is not connected to the internet. Make sure to write down the mnemonic shards by hand, do not print them.

Installation

$ npm i -g seedsplit

Example usage

Note that when you enter the seed no input will be displayed.

To combine mnemonics to get a seed:

$ seedsplit combine -t 2
Enter shard mnemonic:  2 sorry earn angry best glide purpose chat grant fox wall lawsuit such liquid wrong chimney raven husband boss grass inject they special warm shuffle

Older versions

Releases 0.1.2 and older used a different Shamirs Secret Sharing library and are incompatible with newer versions. If you need to combine shards created with an old version, please use version 0.1.2.

Wordlists

Seedsplit uses wordlists from bitcoinjs/bip39 project.
