Description

The Pursuit package list is long, and it's a bit difficult to discover which packages are reliable and well-regarded.

On the front page packages list, I would like to see

  • GitHub About line
  • GitHub stars
  • If this package is in package-sets. Also number of packages in package-sets which transitively depend on this one.
  • Owner of the package, with a special highlight for purescript or purescript-contrib.
  • Possibly some of the other stuff offered by the GitHub REST API: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos

Also I think we should drop the three-column alphabetic layout. It's cute but it doesn't work well with lots of packages. We should switch to a table with the above columns.

Research direction

Start with the front-page packages list and the related issues #292, #267, #220, and #147. Review the GitHub REST API repository fields and the package-sets requirements, then define the table columns and layout; done means the list presents the agreed package metadata and replaces the three-column alphabetic layout.
