ni: A better `npm install` (github.com)

I think a better NPM Install would be something closer to what Yarn does with how it de-dupes and deterministically lays out the node_modules folder.
I was just trying to make a third party module out of npm, not making another dependency management. btw It'd be good to add the dedupe feature. appreciate for the feedback !
So, how does this really differ from npm and yarn? I think there should be a comparison table on the readme, that would really help.
It's not a whole another package like yarn. It just works the same as npm install, but better than original.
“Ni”? And no Monty Python jokes yet???
What is meant by an "unspecified dependency"?
@yladiz explained it well. I had to minimize the words to a single word like "unspecified". seems like you struggled with understanding what it really means, Is there any recommendation to change?
I think it's if there's some dependency that the author of the package used, but wasn't specified in the package.json file.
I really like the spinner. Clever.
