Description

would be super cool if you could somehow easily install bins from npm

for example, if you could click a '+' button in the app, type a npm module name in, hit 'install and save as a process' and then it would automatically do npm install in the background, and update your config to have the new app added

Research direction

Start from the app's process-creation and configuration flow, then trace how npm modules could be installed in the background. Define the behavior for entering a module name, saving it as a process, and updating configuration; done means the installed npm bin launches through the app and persists after restart.
