feat: Switch to prebuildify and bundle binaries #8
Conversation

Oh cool! I've been wanting to publish and use precompiled binaries. I had slightly different implementation plans but I should let that hold this back :) |

What did you have in mind? I have a list of around 20 open source projects to modernize with prebuildify to eliminate compilation during installation within my main project. This release process is modeled off the approach used by argon2. I’d love to hear how you’d approach the issue. |

I'm talking bigger picture - I'd like to get out from under node-gyp. Why we're using python to build things for Node still makes no sense to me... There is CMake.js but even that has issues... I like the notion of prebuildify - not at odds with what I'm thinking about. It's crazy that it's more economical to just pack the binaries in the npm bundle. |

Greetings. I added prebuildify and bundle binaries to the release. Not sure how active this project is but opening an MR in case it can be accepted upstream. There are some changes here you probably don't want - like the updates to the README. I will roll those back if the rest of the MR looks good to you.
