I want this to be packaged too, but when I tried to build it, I got the error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported error. I then checked the CI, and it uses Node.js version 12, which isn't on Nixpkgs. I could try to build it with Node.js 16, but that isn't in Nixpkgs either, so I don't think it can be packaged in its current state.

According to Ben Schattinger himself, he has no time to maintain the project. Unfortunately for both of us, I don't think it can be packaged any time soon Here is the package.nix file I ended up with (that doesn't work), if you wanted to make a Nix flake.
