Better local require() paths for Node.js

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

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

James Sugrue [asked][1], "@GitHubAPI is there a way to find the number of stars for a given repository?"

Example

$ curl -ni "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=more+useful+keyboard" -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.preview'

Take a look at Yeoman right now.

The other two entities have awesome logos. Bower's got to represent.
