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 🙏

terminal-timer

Motivation

A simple terminal timer that incorporates some of the ideas that Dr. Andrew Huberman was sharing in his podcasts:

  1. The optimal single working session time is ~1.5 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HINgMMTzPE.
  2. You will be more productive within the session if you make three short stops (~10 seconds attention switches/rests) at random times during the working session: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/akYXRHysdNc.

Installlation

$ npm i -g terminal-timer

Tested on:

  • MacOS Monterey v12.7.6 with the Node.js v20
  • Android smartphone with Termux and Node.js v22

How to use

To start the timer:

$ terminal-timer

or just:

$ tt

Default

The default session is 1.5 hours, but you can change it using the argument as your session length in minutes:

$ tt 120

Customize time

The timer will put random 3 stops during your session. The beeping sound will play at each stop. You can change the stop quantity by adding another argument. For example, to have a 90 minute session with 5 random stops:

$ tt 90 5

Customize time and stops Or you can disable these random stops completely by setting them to 0:

$ tt 90 0

Because of how the random logic is implemented, it's possible that sometimes you may have fewer stops than you specified.

At the end of the session, the timer will play a longer beeping sound.
