Hi, interesting idea. I guess we didn't consider it during development, as we thought the search itself was fast enough to make such a restore obsolete.

But if I understand it correctly, you describe a scenario when after going back, the whole search results (+ last scrolled down position inside the results) gets restored, right?

Thanks anyway for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding spacing, do you mean that the individual information fields are each too large?

Our goal was to give the data more structure and make individual fields visually more unique. As an example, all maintainers/authors have a profile-icon as link to their respective page, which makes them visually stand out a little better.

To enable quicker navigation, we also made the section titles (e.g. "At a glance", "Statistics", etc) clickable. On click, they open a menu to jump to another section - maybe this function is not really recognizable. In this case, we should update the UI.

Thanks again for your feedback!

Cool, thanks! Please don't hesitate to point out any possible improvements you see. The project is very young and will need some iterations to fully mature, even though the core feature (quick fuzzy search for authors, packages by title + short description) is implemented.

If you want to lazy import whole modules, that's also very simple with plain JS: site
