cytubefilters

Is there any particular reason this dependency links directly to the github instead of being published on npm under the cytube org like mediaquery? Just curious.
mediaquery also used to be a git dependency, but I migrated it recently due to an npm 7 issue. Actually, even that migration needs to be cleaned up, I had to make a new branch to avoid breaking existing clones with the git dependency.
For cytubefilters it's a bit more complicated because it's a C++ wrapper -- which means that the binaries it builds vary by both OS and node version (v8's ABI changes between node major versions).
I think there is a way to ship binaries for different OSes/node versions and fall back to building from source (I believe uWebSockets.js does this), but I haven't invested in figuring that out.
Resolving because the question was answered. If desired, packaging cytubefilters can be tracked as an issue in that repository.
