Description

In the future, it would be cool to have an iframe-able static website that would serve as a sort of download cache for npm packages. This would let multiple websites share the cached downloads (including the copy of browserify itself), speeding up runtimes.

I'm thinking of a postMessage based API that would allow a client website to request a browserify bundle given some input code.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by inspecting the repository structure and existing browserify-in-browser behavior, then clarify the postMessage API and caching requirements; done should include a defined, working iframe-able service and a demonstrated way for client sites to request browserify bundles.
