Some questions about the isBrowser check:

• What outcome would you want in a WebWorker? I assume false, in which case no change is needed (other than maybe a more-specific variable name).

• I think you can get it even shorter with window != null? But maybe the true end-goal is some sort of __BROWSER__ build-time var so entire branches are compiled out.

I think false, so yeah the name could be better.

This would yield Uncaught ReferenceError: window is not defined in eg Node. Also, it's usually pretty easy to configure a bundler to strip out typeof window checks, like we're doing here: https://github.com/marko-js/examples/blob/master/examples/webpack-express/webpack.config.js#L76

Rad on both counts.
