The library does not seem to be on NPM right now. Is that intentional?

Sort of? I guess there are reasons; not sure if they are actually good reasons.

  • I'm lazy - Learning how to publish on NPM has never been high on my list.
  • Unsure about benefits - The tiny fraction of developers for whom it might be interesting or useful will probably find it. It seems easy enough to reference a package with a git link.
  • It's not stable - This is an experiment that is one month old. I haven't gotten around to incorporating it into my own web app yet. Right now it's more of a proof-of-concept than a component. Update: It's older than a month and has had some use. The library itself has been pretty stable, but examples (e.g. IndexedDbVFS) have not.
  • Low traffic is a happy place - I don't have any motivation to mess with that.

Counterpoints welcome!
