any plans on enabling conda install in the near future?

You can install uvplot inside a conda environment already:

1. activate the desired conda environment
2. run pip install uvplot

Adding a package to conda requires some amount of boiler-plate code and it is not clear to me what would be the advantage for uvplot, since one can install it with pip in any environment (conda or not conda).
When I opened the issue I was probably thinking about galario, in which case conda allows us to detect the machine on which it is being installed, which then decide what specific FFTW and numpy versions the compiler has to use. This additional control on the installation process ensures that galario gets always compiled correctly on any machine, and that the GPU version is installed on any machine hosting an NVIDIA GPU. This customisation is not possible with pip.

In the case of uvplot, however, there are no compiled parts that requires all this capabilities of the installation step, so just using pip is fine.
I'd close this issue, unless @jpinedaf points out a case in which it would be necessary to have uvplot in conda.
