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 🙏

Readme

Serve Public

Serve any folder on your device with a Public URL

Installation

Install serve-public with NPM.

Run npm install -g serve-public

Usage

Get a Public URL for any folder on your device with: serve-public --path </path/to/your/folder>

You'll see output like

Local server listening on http://localhost:3000 # This is the port the server is listening to on localhost
http://cnrsqd-ip-157-211-241-249.tunnelmole.com is forwarding to localhost:3000 # A public, plain HTTP url for your folder
https://cnrsqd-ip-157-211-241-249.tunnelmole.com is forwarding to localhost:3000 # A public HTTPS url for your folder

How it works

serve-public uses Tunnelmole under the hood to get the Public URLs. It then starts a simple Express server with a couple of middlewares.

When you hit the public URL, the request is forwarded through the tunnelmole servers to your local client, then to the express server serving up your folder.
