The react-native-circle-slider package on npmjs is not from this GitHub repository

I'm sure you're probably already aware of this, but https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-circle-slider indicates that is a "continuation" of this repository (i.e. not pristine) by exomemphiz.

The most recent release is also a year old and I don't see a repository linked for the actual source code used.

At the very least, it could cause confusion for people new to react-native-circle-slider. Even most of the props are different.

@raymondchooi , do you have any interest in publishing releases to npmjs? If so, have you tried to reach out to @ExoMemphiz ? (I notice that there is an account on GitHub with the same name and profile image.) @ExoMemphiz, where is your source repository for the npmjs package? Also, should you maybe rename the npmjs package to avoid this confusion?

@raymondchooi, you might want to add some instructions to install this package from the GitHub source (e.g. "npm install https://github.com/raymondchooi/react-native-circle-slider" or "yarn add https://github.com/raymondchooi/react-native-circle-slider"), so people can easily get the unmodified version. I'm guessing that otherwise, some (most?) people would try to just run "npm install react-native-circle-slider" or "yarn add react-native-circle-slider", which would pull in the modified version, resulting in issues like #9 .

This comment right here saved me so much time, thank you @RohanTalip!

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-circle-slider now returns a 404, so there should be less confusion now.

Thanks for the heads up @RohanTalip, I've added the npm package and updated the instructions in the readme for npm i react-native-circle-slider and yarn add react-native-circle-slider
