What Is the issue?

There are many calls to the node process global which is not present in the browser.
EG:
https://github.com/dollarshaveclub/postmate/blob/master/src/postmate.js#L128

I cannot see anything about this in the readme but of course it break when i try to run things.

Is project still being actively maintained by the maintainers?

There are a lot of outstanding issues and PRs that are not being addressed.

@Acrontum-Carmichael
I have also created an Issue of the question before on another matter, but I haven't received a response to that one.
It's been 9 months since the last master merge, plus the release to npm has had no activity for over a year.
I have decided that this is not healthy and I have switched to another package that provides the same functionality.

Thanks for the tip @aiji42 👍

Although true @aiji42 - the size of this repo is significantly smaller that post-robot..
postmate = 4.3kb minified
post-robot = 38.7kb minified

This guy seems to have a decent alternative - in the readme he give credit for inspiration to this lib.

.min version is around 6kb so still reasonably lightweight @aiji42
