  • it is definitely worthwhile to think about NPM

    Yes, we need to come up with a good solution. It's a hard balance between being totally friendly to new users (having a 'curated' list of non-duplicated modules that are searchable, well documented and 'just work') and being totally open for anyone to publish whatever they want, with versions and stuff like that.

    There's also this issue of having NPM modules be nicely usable with the Web IDE - things like npm install and minification become way more painful if you're working within the confines of the browser.

    @chalkers is working on some tools that should make Espruino easier to use in a more Node-style way (there's also espruino on NPM)... it's just finding a way to have everything work together, as the Node.js/NPM workflow is very different to the 'plug in and go' that many other Espruino users are used to.
