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 🙏

Status

This module is a work in progress as the version number indicates. I'm currently using it as the basis for a couple projects, but as of 0.0.x haven't even tested beyond a local network. Once the module is stabilized I'll document the api.

What is it?

The w in "woverlay" is for WebRTC; woverlay is a peer 2 peer overlay network built on WebRTC. Depending on your disposition you can read it as a Keanu Reeves "woah" or a more shakespearean "woe". The network is similar a variant of a "Chord" network.

The architecture uses a central websocket server for bootstrapping into the network. Once a peer is bootstrapped it uses WebRTC for building the rest of the network and signaling, so the load on the server should be minimal.

  • No effort to support browsers that don't have WebRTC, so most ES6 features can be used without transpiling (browserify, but no need to babelify).
  • Requires bootstrapping peers to connect in both directions with only STUN servers, asymmetric NATs and tight firewalls won't be able to join the network.
