updates to npm search break node-packages

The npm-seach endpoint now only has 20 minutes of granularity, a good fix would be to use npm's couch follower feed, and the follow library:

Basically you'd setup the follower to look at https://registry.npmjs.org, and you'd get notified as new publications come in.

I will give it a look, thanks @bcoe !

Seems like the stale=update_after search filter is broken, it's now only return packages within a day...
It's now returning today.json if my query time is within a day, which is pretty bad since it's not realtime data...

The follow package didn't work either follow on https://registry.npmjs.org or https://registry.npmjs.org/-/all

Previous one just won't trigger the update event, and the latter one is just too big... I will find another way for another night. Anyways, thanks for the info!
