Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

# git hook to run a command after `git pull` if a specified file was changed
# Run `chmod +x post-merge` to make it executable then put it into `.git/hooks/`.

	echo "$changed_files" | grep --quiet "$1" && eval "$2"

1. show and close are not opposites. It should be open, close or show, hide. open close is the obvious winner.
2. There is no declarative api, which is actually really simple:

<button controls="my-dialog">
  Toggle Dialog
</button>

Bower Import

Goal

To be able to install a package from bower and require it into your application with AMD (or ES6 module syntax if using and ES6 to AMD transpiler). For now it is a separate library to be used as a bower postintall script but the hope is to get it into bower by default.
