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 🙏

slash-webtask-github-sourcer

Make Slash Webtasks run code directly off GitHub. This is done by making the webtask load the code from GitHub and evaluate it in webtask’s context.

  • Allows Slash Webtasks to be version-controlled and collaboratively edited.

  • Uses the GitHub Apps API, so it does not require a personal access token.

How to set up

  1. Create a GitHub app.

    1. For organizations: Go to your organization settings → Developer settings → GitHub Apps → New GitHub App

      For personal account: Go to user settings → Developer settings → GitHub Apps → New GitHub App

    2. Set up your GitHub App permissions as follows:

      • Repository contents: Read-only
    3. Generate and download a Private Key.

    4. Note the App ID.

    5. Install the app, granting access to the repository where the webtask code is stored.

    6. Note the Installation ID which is in the URL.

  2. Create a Slash webtask.

    1. In Slack, run /wt make hello and click the resulting edit link.

    2. Copy the existing code as-is, and put it in your GitHub Repository. Example: hello.js

    3. Put in this code, change things as required:

      module.exports = require('slash-webtask-github-sourcer')({
        owner: 'taskworld',
        repo: 'slash-webtask-github-sourcer',
        appId: 12345,
        installationId: 1234567,
        path: 'hello.js',
      })
    4. Configure the webtask SecretsAdd Secret

      • Secret key: GH_APP_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64
      • Secret value: (encode the Private Key using Base64 and paste it here)
    5. Configure the webtask npm ModulesAdd Module → Type in slash-webtask-github-sourcer.
