Super-late follow-up on this one. Is bower.io still oft-used? I'd presume npm would be the popular choice, these days. The bower.io homepage infers that the project is in maintenance mode, including notes about how to migrate elsewhere.

...psst! While Bower is maintained, we recommend using Yarn and Webpack for front-end projects [read how to migrate! ]

Snowstorm is most popular during the year-end holiday season, and I would like to improve its performance this year (i.e., in 2018) before it picks up again. I'll revisit this by that time, if I have a new version / update release.

Just need a way to install/update it easily. So bower, npm or yarn - doesn't really matters.

If anything, I'll probably do npm.

However, most importantly, I need to improve Snowstorm's performance before the 2018 holiday season and I should only publish / promote it on npm et al if I improve its performance. In its present state, it burns way too much CPU (and is disabled on mobile by default, at present, for this reason.)

These days, it should probably be a canvas-based overlay instead of many different <div> elements / layers.
