native-cdn

What is native-cdn ?

native-cdn is a local content delivery network like cdnjs which allows you to run all your commonly used CSS and Javascript files from a single server offline on your local machine instead of having multiple and lots of different files in different folders serving the same purpose

Who is native cdn for ?

native cdn is for everyone who uses external css or javascript file in the link or script tag.

Why native cdn ?

Most developers when writing code or when downloading templates, we do download all css files and jquery files along. After downloading 7 templates which all have bootstrap in it, the user gets 7 bootstrap files. So with native-cdn, one can run all the 7 templates with just one bootstrap file which pretends to be a bootstrap file from the cdn.
