eg looking at the firebase driver as im about to pull it from the experimental project i have locally, i would love to be able to put that in a separate repo, yet still work on it in the sparks-cyclejs project and push changes from the same working directory. @TylorS have you done anything like this, any recommendations?

This seems like a solid use case from npm link

You'll want to structure another project however you would prefer, but at minimum with a package.json and the source code of course. Then you run npm link from inside of that folder. Then in the sparks-cyclejs project you'll run npm link my-firebase-driver-name which will 'install' the driver inside of the projects node_modules folder.

From there you'll be able to import the driver import {makeDriver} from 'my-driver' as if it were installed from npm.

I don't believe this is 100% what you're looking for, but I believe it is pretty close. Feel free to ask for more specifics if needed.

how does this solution work for other people working on the repo?

Any other developer working on it would also run the same npm link commands
