Wow this is serendipitous. I was just wanting a solution to this issue yesterday (developing an app and its dependencies simultaneously without publishing to npm constantly).<p>I didn't know about `npm link`. Can you elaborate on the issues you've had with it? Because honestly it sounds better to me. When I modify a dependency I don't want to have to "publish" that modification before my app sees it. Am I right in thinking that with `npm link` there is no publish step?
