Could npm build errors get reported to the Drizzle UI somehow?

We've been building components in Atom on one side of the screen, with the port-3000 Drizzle UI on the left side of the screen. When we had syntax errors, we had to switch to terminal to find the error that npm was spitting out - it'd have been awesome if the Drizzle UI had shown us that npm was erroring somehow.

Here are some examples of syntax errors that didn't kill npm, but did prevent us from seeing any change in Drizzle:

{{embed "patterns.components.pagination.base" }}{{/embed}} (missing the # on {{# )

{{#embed "pattern.components.pagination.base"}}{{/embed}} (missing the s on patterns ) {{#embed patterns.components.pagination.base}}{{/embed}} (missing the "s on the location )

That sounds like a good idea to me.

Looks like we might be able to leverage Browsersync's notify method: https://www.browsersync.io/docs/api#api-notify

Improved error handling in general is definitely needed. We'll have to make sure errors like this don't interrupt the server.
