Making available on NPM?

Since this replaces and is inspired by maidfile, it would be great if the binaries were available on NPM for ease of installation in JS projects.

swc is an example of a Rust project with binaries available on NPM.

Could also be made available as WASM on NPM too

Although I do understand this would be more convenient in node-only environments, at this point in time I don't feel like maintaining an npm package for mask. It adds a lot of complexity to the release process and it requires precompiling binaries for many targets in order to download them post-install, as far as I know.

But the current release process already precompiles binaries for GH releases and Brew, no?

The simpler alternative that I mentioned is a WASM build, which is a single binary
