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

webthing-system-resources

This is a read-only WebThing to monitor the device it is running on. It provides the uptime, system load and amount of free memory.

A preview image of the WebThing Add in the Mozilla Things Gateway

Try it

# Specify a port in Bash (Linux and Mac)
#export PORT=8000
# Specify a port in Batch (Windows)
#SET /A PORT=8000
npm install
npm run start

This starts a web server on the TCP port 8000. Determine your system’s local IP address and add the WebThing to your gateway.

Explanation

  • Uptime – Counts the seconds since the last system start (boot).
  • Avg. Load – (Unix-like only) Indicates the average load of the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes. On a quad-core a 4 means that the system has not been idle. A value of 2 would roughly translate to the system being 50% busy.
  • Free Memory – Indicates free memory in bytes. This goes down as you open more applications.
  • Total Memory – Indicates total memory in bytes.
  • Free Memory (percent) – Indicates how much memory is free in relation to the total memory. This is a floating point number from 0 to 100.

The average load only works on Unix systems. On a Windows system these values remain at 0. To get a better understanding of the values, read the man page of uptime. You can read this offline on your UNIX system by running man uptime.
