Link to instructions for how to update packages for Pika CDN (with smart suggestions?)

[karlhorky]

Hello, first of all, thanks for this project! It's cool to see more work being done in the area of ES Modules and bundlers!

I searched for a package today that didn't fulfill the necessary requirements for inclusion in the Pika CDN (search link), and got a partially-helpful error message:

This is a good start! But it would be nice for package authors and other open source users to have a link to a minimal, best-practices guide for how to update packages to support the necessary requirements.

I've since opened miracle2k/react-arrow#6 to update the field in package.json, but am uncertain if this is the only change necessary.

---

Bonus: Would be cool to have a matching heuristic for this that looks for existing configuration files / config in package.json and makes better recommendations based on the existing bundler.

bundlephobia has a cool "similar packages" feature that would be interesting to pull from: https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=moment@2.24.0

@FredKSchott I'm not sure if we're understanding each other properly - this issue is not a request to improve the search for alternative or similar packages, rather it is about improving the documentation / guide / tips for authors of packages which do not fulfill the requirements.

But maybe I missed something about that feature that you mentioned...

Oh dang, you're right I misunderstood. Yes, adding a "module" entrypoint is the only requirement, but you're right that it would be good to add a guide that makes the steps needed more explicit. Thanks for the feedback!

Added some "learn more..." text that should point package authors in the right direction
