too much node_modules

[pimoGit]

Thanks for this repo, it's so useful to play and learn.

It seems though that when you run npm install on a project folder it installs a lot of useless modules. Am I missing something or it's an issue? This way the node_modules folders are on an average of 100-150 MB. Thanks!

that's one of the disadvantages of these kind of projects, but it's worth all that space (and please note, a lot of those modules are just for development, once you export this to production the size of the project becomes considerably smaller)

I see. I was just wondering why so many useless modules. Maybe the product of a lot of tries and then never delete them. Thanks, @tavuntu

I haven't tried this myself, but they say it works for this problem (it reduces the size of node_modules by symlinking some stuff), maybe you'll want to take a look :) https://www.npmjs.com/package/linklocal

I will take a look, thanks!
