Nice, would have been exactly what I wanted last year. Ended up discovering sttp which is also really nice.

btw: since you were one of the early adopters of Scala.js, will/can this be ported to Scala.js

This has a blocking API which is a no go in single threaded Javascript, so my guess is no

Super easy to wrap into futures or IO to make it asynchronous. It is scala afterall, not python

I'm not sure how that would work in Scala.js without redesigning the library to have an async API, at which point it's not really the same library anyway. The author said that sync API was a major feature of this lib.
