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 🙏

Build Status

This project is a JavaScript version of Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme. It has 2 distinguishing features:

  1. It is interoperable and compatible with B. Poettering's Linux ssss utility (ssss-split and ssss-combine) from http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/ so keys/shares can be created with one and recovered with the other. That project was used as the reference implementation for this project.
  2. It consists of a single html file which includes everything needed to split and combine a secret (no network connection needed). As a result it is fully usable from Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and other operating systems with a modern browser.

There are some other implementations of Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme (SSSS) floating around, but none seem to be compatible with each other. The Linux utility is great (which is why this project is compatible with it), but chances are the people you want to share the secret with are not running Linux.

The author of the Linux utility maintains a web page where the utility can be demo'd, but the author notes that it's not secure and should not be used for sensitive data.

The ssss.html file generated by this project has no server dependencies (or any other external dependencies) and is as secure as the browser or PC it's being used on. Additionally, it eliminates the need to rely on a 3rd party web site page that may or may not be available in the future.

Usage

  • Try it out at https://ebixio.com/ssss.html
  • For offline use:
    • Download ssss.html from https://ebixio.com/ssss.html or https://github.com/gburca/ssss-js/releases
    • Open up the downloaded page with a browser and follow the simple instructions.

Build

  • A simple Makefile is provided to assist with generating the stand-alone html page.
  • npm package is at: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssss-js

Test

  • Since all the tests are in test/*:
    ./node_modules/qunitjs/bin/qunit

OR (during development) if you have entr:

    ls *.js test/*.js | entr -c ./node_modules/qunitjs/bin/qunit
