Upon installation of the package, I found that there were 3 files included:

Further investigation into package.json produced the following code:

>{
  "name": "synereo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "Synereo.js",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": {
    "name": "Bonustrack",
    "email": "florent@bonustrack.co"
  },
  "license": "ISC",
  "_id": "synereo@0.0.0",
  "_shasum": "0534238e2935dc53c7acb5aaa7ab71785e2945fa",
  "_from": "synereo@latest",
  "_npmVersion": "3.9.5",
  "_nodeVersion": "6.2.1",
  "_npmUser": {
    "name": "synereo",
    "email": "florent@bonustrack.co"
  },
  "dist": {
    "shasum": "0534238e2935dc53c7acb5aaa7ab71785e2945fa",
    "tarball": "https://registry.npmjs.org/synereo/-/synereo-0.0.0.tgz"
  },
  "maintainers": [
    {
      "name": "synereo",
      "email": "florent@bonustrack.co"
    }
  ],
  "_npmOperationalInternal": {
    "host": "packages-16-east.internal.npmjs.com",
    "tmp": "tmp/synereo-0.0.0.tgz_1473273924167_0.9781978942919523"
  },
  "directories": {},
  "_resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/synereo/-/synereo-0.0.0.tgz",
  "readme": "ERROR: No README data found!"
}

For the most part, it seems like a placeholder. Is this the first sign of the upcoming Alpha release? It's certainly interesting. I would love to hear the community's thoughts on it. I know just enough to be dangerous with node.js!
