Expose "sendUpdate" function for external use.

It’d be nice if the sendUpdate function in script.js was exposed. In SPAs, Shynet doesn’t properly detect page transitions because the browser page is never reloaded. Hence you have to wait for the next heartbeat for anything to be tracked.

If the sendUpdate function was exposed, it could be called in your router transition event handler and would allow for these events to be tracked. For example with Fathom and Next.js you can do something like this:

Router.events.on("routeChangeComplete", () => {
  fathom.trackPageview();
});

Yeah, I’d like to do a pretty significant refactoring of the script – I’ll definitely expose some kind of shynet.newHit() function.

Yep! Shynet.newPageLoad() is what you want to use.
