Polyfills as a Service

Author here. Haven&#x27;t maintained this in a while. It&#x27;s down due to some breaking changes in libraries and I haven&#x27;t updated the code to handle it.<p>I also stopped using this as you could just use babel to automatically use whichever polyfill you use with babel-runtime. Saving a few kb is an overoptimization.<p>If you&#x27;re interested in maintaining this project, let me know. I can add you to the GitHub organization.

This is a really great example of why not to use random CDN&#x27;s just because it is convenient. Currently they are just serving internal server errors.

If this interests you, there is also <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.polyfill.io&#x2F;v1&#x2F;docs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.polyfill.io&#x2F;v1&#x2F;docs&#x2F;</a> (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Financial-Times&#x2F;polyfill-service" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Financial-Times&#x2F;polyfill-service</a>), backed by FT.

&gt; To include polyfills, use a -, otherwise, use a +.<p>That should say &#x27;exclude&#x27;, right? To avoid confusion, probably avoid &quot;otherwise&quot; too, spell it out &quot;to exclude polyfills use a `-`; to include only listed polyfills use a `+`&quot;

as a low level developer all of this confuses me. polyfills as a thing at all, multiple solutions and a service that can provide them (but doesn&#x27;t actually work!)<p>this is why web development makes me feel bad... all this time an effort spent solve very easily and classically well solved problems in the browser, because browsers are wastelands of terrible engineering :I

This is a really neat idea... when paired with the Express middleware and Babel, you could have a pretty clean ES6 app with modern browser features and still have it work on older browsers.

CDNs beats packages for faster page loads, but there must be a reliable maintainer. This was paramount as I was building SaturnAPI. If anyone needs to utilize MATLAB in the cloud check it out: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;SaturnAPI.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;SaturnAPI.com</a>
