When can I expect a new NPM package to be available through the plugin?

Background: I was quite excited and made an NPM package (better weweb embeds - you all will like it). I confirmed it’s on Unpkg ([https://www.unpkg.com/@statechange/scripttag](https://www.unpkg.com/@statechange/scripttag)) but the weweb picker is not finding it. Is there an interval it uses for caching the library?

I made it yesterday and today it’s still not getting found. Package is @statechange/scripttag.

Very excited to work with this new functionality! Would be grateful for any thoughts.

I think I might have a starting point. I see that Weweb is searching on [api.npms.io](http://api.npms.io), a search engine for packages. The main issues on its github are all “this is missing X package” because of how it caches: [Issues · npms-io/npms · GitHub](https://github.com/npms-io/npms/issues)

So this is not a weweb thing, it’s the supply chain. I’ll keep an eye on when/if the package becomes available on npms and -hopefully - Weweb!
