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

Start a Changelog JS

NOTE: it looks like there's a more full-featured version of this concept at https://www.npmjs.com/package/keep-a-changelog

An npx-able way to get a copy of the changelog from https://keepachangelog.com . It's especially helpful when starting up a new project and you don't want to leave your CLI.

Installation

You could install it, but you'll probably just want to:

$ npx start-a-changelog > CHANGELOG.md

To install (note this package has no dependencies other than node/npm)

$ npm i -g start-a-changelog

Benefits

  1. starting a detailed changelog is very nice for your users
  2. You can npx it or install it globally (it has no dependencies)

Credit

This of course would not be possible without the work of many people on https://keepachangelog.com , espeically Olivier Lacan

The idea for this package was inspired directly by lice-js, written by Daniel Haight
