Polvo

Polvo is just like Twitter's Bower tool, only implemented using a different schematic.

It's designed to be much simpler to use and be more agnostic regarding the resources you feed the build process.

It also allows developers to use various package repositories, for easier package inter-changing. This way a programmer is never limited to the modules and plugins provided by one single JS framework or build system he might be forced to use.

Unlike Bower, Polvo also taps in the resources of various other build systems and package managers, working also with npm (Node.js package manager) and Component packages as well, besides the self-implied Bower packages.
