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

videocast

For Chromecast owners: stream a local video to your Chromecast from command-line. Controls (volume, seek, pause...) are read from your terminal, and video is hosted and converted on the fly so you don't have to worry about anything!

Requirements

  • Node
  • ffmpeg

Installation

npm install -g videocast

Usage

cast /path/to/file

Controls

  • Up/Down: increase/decrease volume
  • Left/Right: seek -/+ 30 seconds (seems not to be working)
  • Space: pause/resume
  • Ctrl+C: stop and quit

This is a work in progress!

What's working

  • Converting and casting to local first Chromecast found (conversion is not a gadget, tested on lots of files, without conversion many have no sound)
  • Controls on a Linux terminal

What's planned

  • Find out why 'seek' is not working
  • Check other platforms (different key codes? crappy encodings? who knows...)
  • CLI options (start time, ffmpeg output)
  • Remove dependency to ffmpeg (if possible)
  • Why not making a fully working TTY player interface?

Want to contribute?

Don't hesitate to fork and propose pull requests! When project is cloned, best way to test is using debug:

npm install
DEBUG=* ./bin/cast.js /path/to/file
