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 🙏

Stack Overflow RSS

Install

npm install stack-overflow-rss

Use

var stackOverflowRss = require('stack-overflow-rss');

// get the latest javascript questions
var consumer = stackOverflowRss({ tag: 'javascript'});
consumer.on('update', function(questions) {
  console.dir(questions);
});
consumer.update();

// poll the most voted json and node.js questions feed
var anotherConsumer = stackOverflowRss({ tags: ['json', 'node.js'], sort: 'votes'});
anotherConsumer.on('new', function(newQuestions) {
  console.dir(newQuestions);
});

Requiring 'stack-overflow-rss' returns a function used to consume question feeds. The following options are allowed:

  • tag or tags - The question tags.
  • sort - Default is 'newest'. Can also be 'unanswered', 'active', 'votes' or 'faq'.
  • pollInterval - Default is 1000 * 60 * 2 (2 minutes).
  • lazy - Defer polling until the first subscription to 'new'. Default is true. You can use consumer.update()to trigger a single update.

Upon registering, an EventEmitter is returned. The events to mind are:

  • 'update' - triggered every time the questions are fetched.
  • 'new'- triggered only when new questions exist. At leat two updates must be done to trigger this event.
