Consider publishing solely to npm, and recommending Deno use npm:is-what?

Would this be a viable option? With Deno introducing npm: specifiers last year, I don't know if it's necessary to keep two package publications alive.

@mesqueeb What's the current process for deploying? Do you manually run npm publish? What happens? How do you deploy to deno.land?

Cool tooling:
https://www.denoify.land/
https://github.com/denoland/publish-folder
https://docs.denoify.land/publishing-on-deno.land-x

IIRC: Deno is linked to this repo: http://deno.land/x/is_what
and it uses the dist folder as the source code I think?

I don't personally use Deno, so I don't really care what happens to it. But I've received no complaints so far, so I think it just works...?

Not sure I see the benefit in changing deno related things now.

I run npm run release which uses np it does a couple things for me at once.

further tooling can be discussed in #40

Probably? I don't know. You can check the Webhook under the Settings tab to see what the config is. It'd be good to document how the publishing works! 😊

Here's the page where you add your gh repo to the https://deno.land/x index: https://deno.com/add_module It's all down to a webhook!

Benefit would just be a reduction in complexity. When you deploy to two places, now you need extra build tooling (possibly), extra consideration of testing to test both areas, extra CI to test both those things, extra management to actually deploy to those places, etc.

If you drop the https://deno.land/x/is_what in favor of npm:is-what, now you only need to worry about how it get published to npm instead of a) how it gets published to npm and b) how it gets published to https://deno.land/x

I run npm run release which uses np it does a couple things for me at once.

You're saying you do this manually??? 😱 *incredulous!* 😆
