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 🙏

slow.io - It's socket.io, but artificially horrible

Don't use this! It's one of these weekend hack modules. Just barely works. Totally unsupported. Sorry!

I made this in order to test a socket.io application under awful network latency. You use it just like socket.io, and it in fact uses socket.io as the implementation. But every message sent by the server is delayed by some arbitrary period of time.

Usage:

// Load slow.io and configure the level of awfulness:
var io = require("slow.io");
io.typicalLatency = 1000;  // milliseconds
// Then use io as you would normally use socket.io.

Bugs

Many socket.io features are not supported.

Rooms, for example. (You can't just add a dummy .to() method, either. The way rooms are implemented is stateful, so you would need to extend the hack that causes .broadcast to work.)
