Should I be filing issues here or upstream over at Iwasawafag?

Thanks!

Here. I attempted, in a rather abrupt manner, to "give" this repo to Iwasawafag at an earlier point, but he did even less maintenance work than I have, so I started merging things again.

As mentioned elsewhere, I don't have a lot of cycles to carefully evaluate and merge PRs as much as should occur, let alone tackle issues myself, but at least my profile doesn't say "I don't like GitHub".

WIP: this is super slow?

This is nice because it means people don't have to install a native
dependency to try things out. Unfortunately, potrace in javascript looks
like a bit of a mess:

- There's an unmaintained port from 4 years ago:
  https://github.com/kilobtye/potrace
- There's a fork of that which is NodeJS compatible, "with some
  additions": https://github.com/Iwasawafag/node-potrace
- There's this fork of *that* which some additional commits, I can't
  figure out what it's relationship to the `Iwasawafag` fork is:
  https://github.com/tooolbox/node-potrace/.
  (tooolbox/node-potrace#13)
- Unfortunately, one or more of the "additions" in the `Iwasawafag` and
  `toolbox` forks introduce issues with generating fonts, which there's
  yet another fork designed to fix. See
  tooolbox/node-potrace#7 and
  https://github.com/oslllo/potrace/.

So, I've introduced a dependency on the `oslllo` fork of a fork of a
fork of a fork. 😱
