Love it. Keeping JavaScript libraries up to date in Rails can be a real pain and the sprockets solution just isn't all that great. I like how you have approached this with a dead simple approach to implementation and integrating with the existing tooling (bundler/Gemfile). Good work!

This doesn't replace Sprockets at all, but integrates with it. It replaces bower "installer" with a pure ruby dependency. Sprocket still handles the runtime operation.
joshpeek, I wasn't suggesting this replaces sprockets. I was saying that the sprockets/bower integration out of the box isn't all that great, and this seems like a useful tool to help improve the situation of a common problem.
