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 🙏

import usually from 'usually'

const res = usually({
  usage: {
    '-h': 'print help',
    '-c': 'execute this command',
  },
  description: 'A test command-line application',
  line: 'usually [-c command|command2] [-h]',
  example: 'usually -c command2',
})

console.log(res)
A test command-line application

  usually [-c command|command2] [-h]

	-h	print help
	-c	execute this command

  Example:

    usually -c command2

The algorithm will tab the usage object and all new lines will appear indented to the required padding.

import usually from 'usually'

const res = usually({
  usage: {
    '-h': 'print help',
    '-c': `execute this command, that will perform
the operations on the CPU and return result
upon the full execution or terminate after
30s of inactivity.`,
  },
  description: 'Run the usually',
})
Run the usually

	-h	print help
	-c	execute this command, that will perform
	  	the operations on the CPU and return result
	  	upon the full execution or terminate after
	  	30s of inactivity.

Argufy Integration

Argufy is a program that manages arguments for CLI programs by storing them in a separate XML file so that they are readily updatable in both source code and README documentation. It also generates the script that extracts those arguments and works with Google Closure Compiler. Read More.
