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 🙏

Road Map

Note to myself

  • Make sure working in dev branch
  • When updates are complete, run "grunt test" to verify all tests are passing.
  • Run "grunt hint" to verify all jshint checks are passing.
  • Run "grunt bump" to update version (grunt bump:patch, grunt bump:minor) or update package.json directly
  • Update release history and version ref at top of js file
  • Then run "grunt release".
  • When it is complete, git commit, git push, and git push --tags
  • Wait for travis build confirmation
  • Make pull request to master
  • Wait for travis build confirmation
  • Pull down master locally
  • Just to verify, run "grunt test" to verify all tests are passing. Run "grunt hint" to verify all jshint checks are passing.
  • Run "npm publish"
  • Go back to dev branch
  • Cele!!!
