You mean a list where each package shows the screenshots right in the list? That's a nice idea. Minimizes clicking and loading.

The version I'll deploy tomorrow contains a link to packages.d.o/PACKAGENAME. I loved the idea to point directly to the homepage though because that's likely where users search for more information before installing software. > * what does the search field operate on?

If only the > short text, it would be nice to search on other criteria. Currently it's a case-insensitive search over the package name and short description. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for your constructive feedback. I'm looking forward to the next version (which will even be faster because I'm moving to another VPS).
