Feature request: Publish to deno.land/x and nest.land

Fortunately culori is already written in modern pure ESM format and AFAIK doesn’t use any node.js-specific built-ins, so publishing it to https://deno.land/x and/or https://nest.land should be straight-forward. This would allow Deno users to enjoy culori in a more ergonomic way than currently possible. An example of currently supported ways to use culori in Deno:

import { rgb } from "https://esm.sh/culori@2";
import { rgb } from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evercoder/culori/main/src/index.js";

Both of the options above have several drawbacks. esm.sh is a great service but usually bundles/transpiles the code of a module, while GitHub raw. URLs are really long and also don’t really support any form of versioning.

If you agree culori should be made “Deno-community-compatible” and need help with publishing, I’m happy to help. I have gained some experience using Deno for the last few months so far and even published a small module to https://nest.land, so I may be actually useful for once. 😆

PS: I just discovered this project while pondering about writing my own “modern” color library which includes oklab support. Turns out I don’t need to, because culori is already amazing and somehow exactly what I imagined my library to be. Thanks. 🥲

Thanks for the info! Leaving the files as they are for now. Starting with the just-published culori@2.0.1, the library is available to Deno users. I’ve also added a bit to the Getting Started page.

(I don’t think these are urgent, since they’re mostly related to tree-shaking for a better bundle size and I don’t imagine people are using Deno for bundling code for browsers just yet, are they?)

I personally don’t, and I also think the future is in bundle-free projects, but for example, currently one of the most popular frameworks out there is this: https://alephjs.org/

Aleph.js bundles the modules into one big file (I think). I assume the overwhelming majority of people using Deno for web development right now, are in fact bundling their code, so publishing index-fn.js as well might be particularly useful, at least for the next few years. The thing is though, people can already use that file instead, by just importing it through its url: https://deno.land/x/culori@v2.0.1-alpha.0/index-fn.js.

Offering different variants of a module like this is common in the Deno community, so I think this is just fine as it is at the moment.
