Summary

The Atom plugin aims to automate the process of importing packages from NPM, allowing users to quickly select and install libraries with a few keystrokes. The plugin uses an Algolia index to provide contextual suggestions, reducing the need to switch between tools or search for libraries in multiple places. It also detects missing dependencies and prompts the user to save them. The project was born out of a desire to solve productivity issues faced by developers while building tools and leveraging open-source libraries on NPM.
