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

ssb-box

This module implements the original "private-box" encryption format for SSB. You can use this module as an ssb-db2 plugin, or you can use it as a standalone tool to encrypt and decrypt messages.

Installation

  • Requires Node.js 12 or higher
npm install ssb-box

Usage in ssb-db2

YOU MOST LIKELY DON'T NEED TO DO THIS, because ssb-db2 bundles ssb-box already. But maybe one day ssb-db2 won't bundle it anymore, and then you would have to do this.

  • Requires secret-stack@^6.2.0
  • Requires ssb-db2@>=5.0.0
 SecretStack({appKey: require('ssb-caps').shs})
   .use(require('ssb-master'))
+  .use(require('ssb-db2'))
+  .use(require('ssb-box'))
   .use(require('ssb-conn'))
   .use(require('ssb-blobs'))
   .call(null, config)

Usage as a standalone

This module conforms with ssb-encryption-format so with ssb-box you can use all the methods specified by ssb-encryption-format.

const ssbKeys = require('ssb-keys');
const boxFormat = require('ssb-box/format');

const keys = ssbKeys.generate('ed25519', 'alice');
const opts = {recps: [keys.id], keys};

const plaintext = Buffer.from('hello');
console.log(plaintext);
// <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f>

const ciphertext = boxFormat.encrypt(plaintext, opts);
console.log(ciphertext);
// <Buffer 9e 60 59 b7 02 a3 c8 74 0f 1e 3c b9 b7 99 80 b4 cb f1 35 a0 48 40 16 d4 fa b9 a6 18 37 f0 cc 1c 37 18 e0 c0 a4 c4 3a 9e 3a 74 6a 89 1f 50 0d 4f 78 6a ... 76 more bytes>

const decrypted = boxFormat.decrypt(ciphertext, opts);
console.log(decrypted);
// <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f>
