@montoyamoraga what is your timeline for this? the hosted library isn't updating (see below), so maybe the best solution is just to get CDN working?

@vanevery I updated the client-side library on the nyu server last week, but it is not updating on front end. ie. in my ftp the file is the correct, updated one, but when i go to the link it is not updated. I'm completely confounded. I've cleared cache, tried all the browsers, tried on a different network, nothing is working. help?

It looks like they require that your project have 200 stars on GitHub before consideration.

For the new library request issue, please make sure it's not a personal project, we have a basic requirement for the popularity, like 200 stars on GitHub or 800 downloads/month on npm registry.

As an alternative you can serve files from jsdelivr like this:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kinectron/[email protected]/client/bin/kinectron.bundle.js

More on this here: https://www.jsdelivr.com/features

Basically you follow this pattern
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/user/repo@version/file

@pdr jsdeliver sounds like a good solution for now.

Other thing about cdnjs is that the files will need to be minified, just a heads up.
